Rest assured, summer 2021 will not take place in France!

The implementation of a health passport: its purpose? its credibility?

Its aim would be to revive international exchanges: the health passport is one of the new trending topics regarding the coronavirus, and that is what we are going to talk about today. The project would be studied by Pascale Fontenel-Personne, who has clearly stated her intention to study it in depth and from all the angles it could involve.

The question one might ask is: what would it actually be used for? Quite simply, to facilitate different exchanges between countries by presenting itself as an official document certifying an individual's vaccination. This could be one of the solutions allowing life to return to normal.

This project, which could help tourism reopen its doors, is already making noise and in a positive way. Nevertheless, nothing is official yet and research as well as discussions are ongoing.

A decision that is not unanimous

Indeed, some clarifications need to be made as the government has repeatedly expressed its refusal of a vaccine passport if it were based solely on a vaccine. It could be more open to the proposal if the document were also based on a PCR test, as well as on a person who has already been affected by the virus.

In the form of a passport and even a certificate, it could very likely take on a digital appearance by gathering all the necessary health information related to Covid-19.

This could well be one of the ways out of the situation, which has become burdensome for most of us.

Phuket, a hope for adventurers

Phuket represents considerable hope for the world of tomorrow. Indeed, the island would like to reopen its borders to the whole world thanks to the implementation of its own vaccination campaign, as tourism is a very important industry in this country. Thailand plans for 70% of the population to be vaccinated before the end of September, thus allowing for an almost zero risk of health danger for citizens.

Thus, tourists will be able to go to Phuket without having to quarantine for about fifteen days. Many business groups support this idea, including the Phuket Chamber of Commerce and the Phuket Tourist Association, who plan to pool funds to make this project a reality. Thus, it is very big news for holidaymakers who will be able to go to Thailand without any more constraints or uncertainty. Other regions share the same convictions as Thailand regarding the implementation of a vaccination passport, such as Iceland, the Seychelles, and Mauritius. They are certainly the example that finally allows us to look forward to the world of tomorrow.
