Thankfully, we are moving beyond the situation of Covid certificates being required. That is due to a significant effort by people around the country. They are still required when travelling internationally. It is getting more difficult for people who have had Covid, sought a PCR test, but have not been able to get that. They are not able to get a Covid recovery certificate if they have had a confirmation via antigen testing. Many younger people, including anyone under 40, were told that they could not get a PCR test and needed to record a result using antigen testing. Many teenagers would not have finished their vaccination course, so it will be more difficult for them too. If people want to travel internationally, there needs to be access to the Covid recovery certificate if they have an antigen test.

The Deputy makes a good point. I will have to look into it because I do not have the details of why it is so difficult to get that Covid certificate in place in time. The Deputy is right that people are now looking forward, as more normal life returns, to starting to travel. If they are restricted in that way, that would be a real problem. I will follow up and come back to the Deputy with the specifics of what is happening and what could change to address the problem.
