Doubts How to get the Covid passport
The imminent sixth wave has made the communities 'use' the covid passport as a measure of pressure to increase vaccination rates (only 10% of Spaniards who can access the prick have not done so) and control the access of those who do not vaccinated to leisure and social places where there is a greater risk of contagion.
What communities have judicial endorsement to use it?
At the moment, only three communities have the approval of their respective superior courts of justice.
Galicia, Balearic Islands and Catalonia.
What regions have asked for it and been denied it?
In the summer months it was the Canary Islands, Andalusia and Cantabria who requested it with a negative response.
What atuonomies have they requested?
The Basque Country and the Valencian Community have put in place the regional legislative gears so that, as soon as possible, they can start their use.
Which ones do not yet believe in their need?
They stand out from the rest of the communities Madrid, Extremadura and Castilla-La Mancha.
What is the position of the Ministry of Health?
Carolina Darias, head of Health, showed a rejection in the summer months, when the fifth wave required forceful measures.
Then, Darias argued that "the uses (of the certificate) that are regulated are those contemplated by the EU", that is, to facilitate travel and mobility within member states.
This "is the legal protection it has", thus ruling out giving it another use in a generalized way.
Recently, given that the measures against the virus are changing according to epidemiological needs, Darias affirmed this week that communities have an "open path" to request the Covid certificate to access certain spaces, based on a judicial resolution of the Supreme Court that exposed that this vaccination passport would be justified in certain specific territorial areas, in a limited space, taking into account the epidemiological situation.
What social activities does the Covid passport limit according to the CCAA where it is in force?
In
Galicia
has approval to limit
access to the leisure night
recently to restrict
access to hospitals
.
The endorsement is also requested to make shared use of the rooms in the hostels.
In the
Balearic Islands
, the use is not uniform.
In
Mallorca and Ibiza in nightclubs
(with a differentiated dance area, it does not affect bars).
Not in Menorca at this time.
And in
Mallorca, Ibiza and Menorca
also to access
residences for the elderly
.
In
Catalonia
, on Thursday the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC) endorsed the extension of the health restrictions in force for two weeks, which include the obligation to use the Covid certificate
in nightlife and to access banquets, celebrations and social events in hotels and restaurants
in which there is dancing in closed venues.
How is the Covid passport requested?
As the Ministry of Health recalls,
the national health authorities are responsible for issuing the certificate
.
Therefore, you can request the certificate through your autonomous community.
The certificate can also be requested through the Electronic Headquarters of the Ministry of Health, as long as the interested party meets the following sanitary and technical conditions:
He has been vaccinated against COVID-19 in Spain.
The disease has passed and you can document it with a PCR test with a positive result of more than 11 days ago.
You have a digital certificate or permanent double-factor Cl @ ve (concerted keys combined with a message sent to your mobile device).
In most communities, it can be ordered
online
through the corresponding health portals and official mobile applications.
In some cases, the passport can be obtained in person at some
health centers
.
What justifies the Covid passport?
Faced with rising infection rates, communities have 'resurrected' old ghosts of the fifth wave with the need to control new infections.
The Galician ruling that endorsed his employment for the first time stated that
the Covid certificate provides a high level of protection for public health
, "since only it can considerably reduce the risk of contagion in these establishments."
The Galician ruling, of which the magistrate María del Pilar Teso was the speaker, offered
seamless support to the Xunta because "there is no glimpse of any measure that is more appropriate
to safeguard the life and health of citizens, in this type of premises ".
In addition,
in the Balearic case
, the magistrates weighed the fundamental rights that come into play with the request for these documents.
So they put them in relation to "
the defense of the most fundamental, because there is no more fundamental right than the right to life and health
."
And consequently, and taking into account the legal arguments of the Supreme Court, which stressed that access to these spaces is "voluntary and not essential."
The judges believe that requiring the covid certificate for these spaces
is an ideal way to contain contagions, they consider it necessary and proportionate
"taking into account that they imply the possibility of reopening many activities that had been paralyzed or suspended."
