Israel is leading the way for the world with its SARS-Cov-2 passport, which it calls the "Green Pass". A good title for it perhaps (rather than Covid Pass) because as SARS COV-2 fades, the Climate Emergency will come into focus again and perhaps a "Green Pass" could usefully segue into a system to get people to move and travel less? Only problem with the covid pass seems to be that a vaccinated person can still get Covid (though likely to have reduced symptoms because of the vaccine). But they can apparently still potentially transmit the virus, so it's not a 100% solution. ---- - - - - ---- - - -- UK eyes Israeli vaccine Green Passport As of Monday, 87% of adults in Israel had received at least one jab.
