Malta and the UK have initiated bilateral talks on creating a digital vaccine certificate which will, according to Tourism Minister Clayton Bartolo, not be limited by EU negotiations. The minister revealed that the certificate was already in development by the Malta Information Technology Agency (MITA) and is aimed for release by June alongside tourism reopening.
Bartolo stated that in discussions with the UK government, that information about the digital certificate and its components are already being exchanged. The Minister has already emphasised the importance of the UK in jumpstarting the economy through tourism post-COVID-19. The passport’s standard QR code, and data stating reception of vaccine doses will allow safe travel between the two countries.
