Digital COVID certificate
On the first of July, Europe introduced the EU Digital COVID
Certificate Regulation
[https://ec.europa.eu/info/live-work-travel-eu/coronavirus-response/safe-covid-19-vaccines-europeans/eu-digital-covid-certificate_en].
As an EU resident, you can now use this certificate to travel across
Europe and show that you either have been vaccinated, received a
negative test result, or recovered from COVID-19. 

National authorities issue the certificates and have also started
collecting data on the traffic volumes of the certificates. Those
volumes indicate how many people have travelled using these
certificates. These data are extracted from the backends of national
health systems of the Member States that are part of the European
Digital COVID Certificate Gateway (EUDCC)
[https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_21_2721].

Curious to get more insight into the use of EU Digital Certificates
across Europe? You can now find the dataset on data.europa.eu
[https://data.europa.eu/data/datasets/eu-digital-covid-certificate-gateway?locale=en]
and discover how many digital signature certificates are exchanged via
the EU Digital COVID Gateway and how many of those are used to sign
the Digital COVID Certificate in your country so far.
