Spain

has already begun to issue the EU digital certificate

to citizens who request it and has begun to recognize the certificates issued by all EU member states.

Our country thus becomes one of the first to have this document that will facilitate mobility and travel.

From today Spain also allows the entry of tourists who are vaccinated and with all this

"a decisive step is taken in opening up to tourism"

and our country "is more than 20 days ahead of the date on which this certificate will be mandatory", as stated at a press conference by the Secretary General of Digital Health, Alfredo González.

The EU had scheduled its application on the 1st and at the moment there are only seven countries that already have it.

This document certifies that a citizen has received the complete vaccine schedule, has a diagnostic test, including the antigen test, or has recovered from the disease.

One of these three options.

The issuance process

has begun today in most of the autonomous communities

and the implementation will be progressive and in tests throughout the month of June.

All those issued from this Monday are already valid in any EU country that is already issuing it as well.

Summer

"We can advance this certificate this month, before citizens start traveling in summer and there is an avalanche of requests."

The autonomies "will offer more and more functionalities so that in the coming weeks all without exception can begin to broadcast them."

González has stressed that

it is not a passport "that allows travel, but a document that facilitates" the trip

.

Without it, you can travel, but "the process of entering the country will be slower and additional measures may be imposed, with the certificate it will be much faster and more agile, avoiding waiting and additional controls," said the Secretary General of Digital Health .

From today all Spanish airports accept these certificates from the states that are issuing them.

Until Friday only seven member states did it and today in our country between 30 and 40 certificates have already been validated.
