Phone App With COVID-19  Vaccine Certificate Opens in Greece

The vaccinated in Greece now have the option of showing a certificate with other key data on their cell phones instead of pulling out papers to enter stores and other places, thanks to a new phone app.

The Digital Governance Ministry has activated the Covid Free Wallet to make it easier to present vaccination proof, or certificates of recovery, to get into retail businesses, restaurants, cafes, gyms and other leisure or entertainment venues.

The free app is available for download on smartphones and tablets at the covidfree.gov.gr website, as well as through the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store too.

Users can store the document onto their device by scanning their certificate’s QR code or by downloading it as a PDF and clicking “Save to wallet.” Multiple certificates can be downloaded onto one device to make it easier for families.

New restrictions to apply as of Thursday as Omicron takes over

The Greek government is bringing forward a batch of new restrictions in entertainment, work and sports announced earlier this week to contain the wild spread of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus, with authorities expected to say they will take effect as of Thursday, instead of January 3.

Entertainment and food service venues will close at midnight, have no standing customers and only allow a maximum of six per table. However, an exception will likely be made for restaurants for New Year’s Eve, which will probably be allowed to stay open until 2 in the morning.

No standing customers will be allowed and music will be banned if the measures are not respected.
