Submitting... ‘Exploratory work’ The idea of a digital ID is only “exploratory work,” a Department for Health source reportedly told the Daily Mail, and there are currently no plans to roll out the freedom passports to the public. The source said, “It is about looking at ways we could use this in future. It is looking at whether it would be possible.” A £42,000 contract signed with Netcompany UK was revealed in November, along with a proposal for the negative Covid-19 test certification system. Netcompany UK will be creating a simplified app, which is going to help experts determine whether the certification system is an option for 2021.
