Immunity Passports aka ID2020 For Travel Has Been Released. The long talked about ID2020 for travel is here. Trials begin this week. Several airlines are experimenting with an “immunity passport” that would allow travelers to skip mandatory quarantines for coronavirus according to Daily Mail.
The volunteer-based program is currently operating out of Heathrow airport in London, England,on flights between New York, Hong Kong and Singapore. A dedicated testing facility has been set up at Heathrow to support testing for app volunteers.
“Without the ability to trust COVID-19 tests — and eventually vaccine records — across international borders, many countries will feel compelled to retain full travel bans and mandatory quarantines for as long as the pandemic persists,” said Dr Bradley Perkins of the Commons Project, the branch of the World Economic Forum which is in part backing the venture, in a press release.
