Government revokes crucial Hungarian certificate affecting all travellers

Based on a new government decree, a Hungarian certificate is to be revoked because there is no more need for it.

According to Világgazdaság, the government will issue no more COVID immunity certificates because they have become useless. Based on a new decree, owners can keep their immunity certificate and can access their EU digital COVID certificate via its QR code. People will also remain able to access their digital COVID certificate with the help of different apps.

The reason behind the decision is that the coronavirus pandemic does not support the existence of such a certificate in the future. The first plastic cards were issued in March 2021.

Furthermore, the immunity certificates will remain valid in countries where travellers still need to prove that they have received the vaccine and Hungary signed the relevant bilateral agreements.

The validity of the EU COVID immunity certificates ended on 30 June 2022. However, the European Parliament extended it then. Koronavirus.gov.hu, the official coronavirus website of Hungary, ended operation on 1 January.

  1. Interesting that they ended the koronavirus website. However there are many people positive for Coronavirus, but they don’t want to talk about it! Doctors are seeing many ill patients that are testing positive. Coronavirus is still very active, ignoring it won’t make it go away.
