The COVID Certificate Check App is continuously updated and improved. These new functions have been added to the current version:
- Verification rules adapted: All recovery certificates (based on a positive PCR test) now are valid for 365 days after the start of vaccination protection. Existing certificate documents (paper or PDF) with a fixed "valid until" date of less than 180 days after vaccination protection can now also be verified as being valid during the extended 365-day period, because the validity is only calculated during verification and starting from the day of vaccination.
- Prepared for verifying the new certificates of recovery based on positive antibody tests (seropositive), which can be conducted and issued by approved laboratories starting 16.11.2021.
- Covid Cert App and Covid Check App (for verifiers) are more resistant to temporary downtimes of the EU gateway serving the mutual provision of national verification keys.
- Further optimisations, translations and bug fixes.
