The EU digital COVID certificate allows you to travel between the member states of the European Union (EU). The COVID vaccination certificate is valid for 9 months from the administration of the last vaccine in the complete vaccination schedule. The COVID recovery certificate, however, is valid for 6 months. According to European regulations, this certificate is obtained through a PCR diagnostic test.
During the Alimentaria & HOSTELCO celebration, to access the venue it will NOT be mandatory to show the EU digital COVID certificate if the pandemic situation remains stable, and the local authorities consider it so.
