COVID certificate ordinance adopted in Switzerland<\/h1>\n

The first EU-compatible certificates for vaccinated, cured or tested persons will be issued as scheduled by the Swiss Confederation in June<\/em><\/h3>\n

The first COVID certificates for vaccinated, healed or tested persons will be issued as planned by the Swiss Confederation in June.
\nAt its meeting on Friday, June 4, the Federal Council adopted the ordinance on COVID certificates, which constitutes the legal basis for the issuance of these certificates.
\nIn addition to the form and content of the certificates, it regulates the competencies of the Confederation and the cantons with regard to their issuance, the guidelines for their verification as well as their compatibility with the “EU digital COVID certificate”. The ordinance enters into force on 7 June 2021.
\nThe Federal Office of Information Technology and Telecommunication (FOITT) establishes a system for issuing and verifying COVID certificates.
\nWith the Ordinance on Certificates of Vaccination against COVID19, recovery from COVID19 or the result of a COVID19 test (Ordinance on COVID19 Certificates), the Federal Council creates the legal basis for issuing such documents. The certificates will be issued in paper and electronic format.<\/p>\n

Both variants contain the necessary information in the form of an unsupported readable text and a QR code to prevent forgery.
\nThey also contain an electronic signature of the Confederation, which enables secure verification of the certificate, during which no personal data are transmitted or stored.
\nTo ensure a high level of security, the systems for COVID certificates are currently undergoing a robustness test by experts and interested parties as part of a public security evaluation test.
\nThe first certificates will be issued in stages starting on 7 June 2021 and made available to the population by the end of June at the latest.<\/p>\n

Close cooperation between the Confederation and the cantons<\/h4>\n

The cantons define the institutions in the health sector that will be able to issue COVID certificates. They designate as issuers specialized personnel (in vaccination and testing centers, hospitals and doctors’ offices, pharmacies, etc.) who will issue certificates at the request of vaccinated, cured or tested persons who have tested negative.
\nThe Confederation provides a system for issuing, verifying and revoking COVID certificates, which allows connection to existing information systems (e.g. systems used in the field of vaccination and testing) so that digital certificates can also be issued.
\nIt supports the cantons in the introduction of the solution and the corresponding organizational adjustments.<\/p>\n
