Poll: Domestic Covid Passports, yes or no?

How the Covid Status Certificate uses your data and what your rights are
Introduction
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is providing a service to you that will produce a COVID Status Certificate. This will allow residents in England to display (either electronically via a smartphone, or manually on paper) their COVID vaccination history.

How does the service work?
Digital users: Users of the digital service can use an NHS login to authenticate into the service. Data will then be retrieved from existing data we hold to provide a Certificate of your vaccination history on your smart device.

Non-Digital (Covid 119): Users will be asked to provide name, date of birth and postcode. If these identify a relevant history, then a letter will be produced and sent to the address we hold for correspondence.

What is the purpose for the processing of personal data?
The principle of the Covid Status Certificate programme is to ensure that illness and death from Covid-19 can be minimised as the UK’s social and economic life is re-established. This will apply both during and after the Government “roadmap” allows citizens to emerge from the restrictions placed on the country during the COVID-19 pandemic response.

The Covid Status Certificate provides citizens with evidence of their vaccination history. As the country resumes normal functions, this data will be useful for further aspects of unlocking as they arise, e.g for International travel or attendance at domestic events once these have been permitted by government policy and guidance.

Does this passport have the user's photo included on the smartphone app ???

What is to stop somebody using another person's details/app/phone
or imitating a vaccinated person, that they are not ???

If your phone with all this info is lost/stolen, could somebody else pass off as that person
as there is no photo ID to this on the app

I mean it should really have a picture of the said vaccinated person for verification
but this adds to more personal data of yourself, so even more 1984 perhaps

Government/Queen's speech said about photo ID, so is this the initial stages ???

No App - no vote ???
nahhh that is a bit paranoid maybe
(or maybe not ???)

Prove who you are
You might be asked to prove who you are to a medium level or a high level. This will depend on the website or app you want to use and the type of information you want to access.

Medium level proof of who you are
You will be asked to enter your NHS number, date of birth and the postcode of your home address as registered with your GP surgery. If you do not know your NHS number, you can enter your name instead. This information is then checked to see if we can find a match on our records.

If we find a match, your NHS login will then be verified to a medium level. This will allow you to do things like contact your GP or receive notifications. It does not provide access to health records or personal information.

High level proof of who you are
You must have high level proof of who you are to gain access to health records or personal information. To do this, you have 4 options.

1. Use a fast-track ID check
If you have already had your ID checked to access GP online services, the setup of your NHS login can be fast-tracked. This will only work if you still use the mobile number you gave your GP surgery. This means you do not need to have your ID re-checked and the process is much quicker.

2. Submit photo ID and a face scan
You will be asked to submit a photo of your ID and then take an automated scan of your face. Instructions will be given on how to do this using the camera on your device. The scan will then be used to match your face with your photo ID.

The accepted types of photo ID are:

• passport
• UK driving licence (full or provisional)
• UK residence card or biometric residence permit
• European driving licence (full)
• European national identity card

During the scan the screen will flash and change colour. If flashing lights or colours make you feel unwell, you can record a video instead.

3. Submit photo ID and a video
Instead of using the face scan you can record a short video of your face instead. Before you record your video, you will be shown 4 randomly generated numbers. You will be asked to tell us what the 4 numbers are.

To do this you can:

• say the numbers
• sign the numbers using British Sign Language
• write the numbers down and show them

Your identity will then be carefully checked by our ID checking team and can take up to 24 hours to be verified. This can be longer at busy times. You will be emailed to let you know if the ID check has been successful.

4. Use registration details from your GP surgery’s online services
When you sign up to use your GP surgery’s online services, you will be given three registration details.

The registration details are:

• a Linkage Key (which could be called a Passphrase)
• an ODS Code (which could be called an Organisation Code or Surgery ID)
• an Account ID

If you use this information to prove who you are, it is automatically checked with the GP surgery’s system, along with your name and date of birth. During this process, your NHS number and health information is matched to your NHS login.

To use this option, you should select ‘How to prove who you are without sending a photo of your ID’ at the bottom of the page that tells you how to prove who you are.

If you have not already been verified to medium level, you will also be asked to enter your date of birth and NHS number. If you do not know your NHS number, you can enter your name and the postcode of your home address as registered with your GP surgery.

I doubt that any system that can be introduced without massive cost will be foolproof. People already get their identity stolen and their bank accounts plundered on a daily basis - creating an infallible system for vaccine passports just isn't going to happen. I imagine it will be something similar to systems that already exist for people that travel to obscure countries that must prove they have had yellow fever inoculations etc.

Yes we are being a little paranoid, but its fun and a pleasant way to pass the time.

Ireland to restrict indoor dining and bars to fully vaccinated people
Ireland is to delay lifting indoor dining restrictions, prime minister Micheal Martin said, blaming the pause on the new Delta variant.

The country will restrict indoor drinking and eating in bars and restaurants to those who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 or who have previously been infected by it.

The country joins a handful of places in Europe to introduce the measure, including Austria, Denmark and Israel, while Moscow has brought in similar restrictions.

Martin said health officials told him they thought that the variant made indoor hospitality too dangerous for the unvaccinated. “The safest way to now proceed with a return to indoor hospitality is to limit access to those who have been fully vaccinated or have recovered from Covid infection,” Martin said.

Only 41% of Ireland’s adult population has been vaccinated, with 65% having received one dose, the health minister said on Monday. A senior health official earlier this month said some in their 20s may have to wait until September for a first dose. Indoor venues such as theatres and concert venues may also face restrictions, Martin later told journalists.


He explained that to allow Irish hospitality, which has been hit particularly hard in the pandemic, to reopen as early as possible the government would “work urgently with the relevant sectors to agree a practical and workable approach”. The taoiseach said numbers permitted at outdoor events will increase as planned, with up to 500 attendees at larger stadiums, while limits on visits between households for individuals that have received a vaccine were also lifted.

Individuals were told to continue working from home where possible and the number of people attending wedding will increase to 50. Most other members of the European Union have pushed ahead with reopening indoor dining.
