Plans unveiled for COVID-19 ‘passport’ for sports venues

Cyber security company VST Enterprises (VSTE) has announced details of a ‘sports health passport’ app that is designed to kickstart attendances at British sporting events in the coming months as the industry looks to recover from the COVID-19 crisis.

The ‘V-COVID’ app would be powered by VCode and would be issued by sports clubs, organisations, event organisers or governing bodies as an officially recognised digital health passport.

The app would be used in conjunction with a government/Department of Health-approved COVID-19 testing kit administered by a doctor or healthcare professional that confirms and validates whether the user has tested positive or negative for COVID-19 or has the antibody present. There are also plans for the app to include confirmation on whether the holder is vaccinated.
