The EU Health Security Committee (HSC) has agreed to update the common list of COVID-19 rapid antigen tests, easing the way for the EU’s single digital vaccine certificate to allow foreign travel.
Following the update, 83 tests are now included in the common list, of which the results of 35 tests are mutually recognised by all member states.
Commissioner for health, Stella Kyriakides, said, “Rapid antigen tests play a crucial role to slow down the spread of COVID-19. Having a wider list of recognised rapid antigen tests will make it easier for citizens to benefit from digital green certificates and to facilitate safe free movement inside the EU in the coming months.”
