Making immunization cards compulsory postponed

The execution of making immunization cards compulsory for the overall population when entering public spots has been postponed because of worries raised by a few gatherings.

The choice was to be implemented with impact from January 1, 2022.

As indicated by Health Minister Keheliya Rambukwella, it will require essentially one more long time to finish everything concerning the execution.

"However lawful worries have been figured out with the Attorney General's endorsement, different factors, for example, regardless of whether it is important to convey the immunization card or the presentation of QR code, actually should be settled," he clarified.

"We are of the assessment that presenting a QR code would be helpful for individuals rather than conveying an immunization card. Along these lines, vital courses of action are being made in a joint effort with the Ministry of Technology to present the QR code," the Minister added.
