TousAntiCovid: how to use your sanitary pass in places with more than 50 people

On July 12, 2021, Emmanuel Macron announced the obligation to present a health pass in places with more than 50 people, in addition to other measures aimed at reducing the risks of a fourth. Previously, this obligation took place during events of more than 1000 people. We will explain everything to you.

As you know, since June 9, the TousAntiCovid application has had a section dedicated to the French health pass. Here you can find your negative PCR test, your certificate of recovery or your vaccination certificate in digital format. As a reminder, these documents all have a Datamatrix QR Code, which allows them to be scanned to integrate them directly into the TousAntiCovid application. This July 12, Emmanuel Macron revealed new measures related to the health pass, aimed at reducing the risks of a fourth wave.

Thus, you will have to present your health pass at the entrance of any public place of more than 50 people from July 21, 2021. This includes bars, restaurants, sports halls, cinemas, etc. Previously, this limit was set for events of more than 1,000 people. In addition, the health pass is imperative to travel within and outside the European Union. And precisely, our French health pass has been integrated since June 15, 2021 in the European health certificate, a document that contains key information on your state of health (name of the vaccine, date of injection, possession of antibodies against Covid -19).

How to use the health pass?

First, you will need to download your health pass on the TousAntiCovid application. Here’s the procedure to follow :

• Do you vaccinate or get a negative PCR test
• Open the app All Anticovid
• Take your certificate and scan the QR code
• Go to the section My notebook to find your health pass.

The latter then appears under the mention “EU Digital COVID Certificate” instead of 2D-Doc, as in the screenshot above. You just need to present it at the entrance of a public place of more than 50 people to have it scanned and thus gain access.

Note that since July 1, 2021, holders of a French health pass (whether vaccinated, declared negative via a PCR test, or certified as recovered) can automatically exchange it for a European health pass from the TousAntiCovid application.
