The EU will unveil Wednesday a proposed European vaccine pass to ease travel, an idea pushed by tourist hotspots such as Greece that are desperate to save their crippled economies.
The proposal by the European Commission, the EU s executive arm, would create a digital certificate to show at airports and border crossings to prove that the traveller has received the precious jab.
The idea is to allow inoculated tourists to get around restrictions on non-essential travel that have spread across Europe, as a second and third wave of Covid-19 infections brought much intra-EU travel to a standstill.

Thursday evening, US President Biden marked one year since COVID-19 restrictions commenced in the United States in an address to the nation. He stated the US is on “war footing” in the Administration’s effort to vaccinate the population, while suggesting Americans could return to a more normal routine by 4 July and related US Independence Day celebrations, if they consent to receiving the vaccine. Toward this goal, he announced that by 1 May, every adult in America would be eligible for the vaccine. Currently, adults over 65 years old, those with certain medical conditions and emergency/essential workers are eligible for vaccines in most states/local jurisdictions.
