The system being developed would allow users to present a QR code to prove they have tested negative. The 'digital passport' would be updated by a health centre following a negative test, and could be checked when a user scans the app at a workplace or venue. “It is about looking at ways we could use this in future,” the government source told the Daily Mail. The agreed contracts are understood to only refer to Covid test passports. According to the Mail, two contracts have been issued to develop a 'negative Covid-19 test certification system'.
