Only children under 6 are exempted from Covid testing if they want to travel abroad with their parents under updated EU rules today. The break is allowed for under the European Commission's plans for a digital Covid cert to kickstart summer travel. Those with a valid test certificate in line with the EU Digital Covid cert should be exempted from possible quarantine requirements. The EU statement said that "in addition, the Commission calls for further efforts to ensure a smooth rollout of the EU Digital Covid certificate. "The Commission will support this process by launching the central part of the EU Digital COVID Certificate, the EU gateway storing the public keys needed for the verification of an EU Digital Covid cert tomorrow.”
