We use the EU-wide QR system. I don't know how easy is to get a fake certificate that would pass scrutiny, but here in Austria nobody seems to really check them. If you have something with a QR code on it, they let you pass.
- bellyfullofbac 5y agoYeah it uses cryptographic signing, but fails at the human level when the checker doesn't use the app to check it and doesn't check the holder's ID. But there were reports that some Germans were selling the certificates on the "dark web" (i.e. you have to know the WhatsApp number of the seller), and are working with rogue pharmacy employees to issue valid certificates...
- ratww 5y agoIn stores and restaurants they are rarely checked, but in the cinema and in concerts I had to bring a document.
- 4ad 5y agoFWIW I wasn't checked at any cinema I go to, nor was I checked by my employer, and in fact, I wasn't even checked when I went to the hospital (of course I assume they had it on record, but that's just after you check-in and everything). As for stores, I don't think they are supposed to check at all. Or at least I hope so. Personally I have never been checked.
- ratww 5y agoStrange, I've shown the CovPass app in the past when either a test or vaccination were required, for eating inside, for example. But I think rules change from city to city. I don't think it's needed anymore, anyways.
