The COVID Certificate App is continuously updated and improved. These new functions have been added to the current version:
- Warning message if Covid Cert App is incorrectly used to bulk check Covid certificates.
- Verification rules adapted: New and existing certificates of recovery (based on positive PCR test) now have a validity of 365 days after the start of vaccination protection in Switzerland. Existing certificates inside the app, in the form of an electronic document or on paper do not need to be reissued, because their validity is calculated at the time of testing. The testing rules abroad generally limit the use of Covid certificates to a maximum of 180 days.
- Prepared for new recovery certificates based on positive antibody tests (seropositive), which can be carried out and issued by approved laboratories starting 16.11.2021.
- Certificates which are valid and verifiable only in Switzerland display a corresponding information.
- Covid Cert App and Covid Check App (for verifiers) are more resistant to temporary failures of the EU gateway serving the mutual provision of national verification keys.
- Incorrectly displayed validities in case of deviations of the system time from the local time have been corrected.
- Further optimisations, translations and bug fixes.
