According to the federal government, the Covid certificate is a way to document a Covid 19 vaccination, a passed illness or a negative test result. The certificate includes the surname, first name, date of birth and a certificate number, as well as information about the Covid 19 vaccination, recovery or negative PCR test or rapid antigen test result.
The heart of the Covid certificate is the QR code. It makes the certificate forgery-proof thanks to an electronic signature from the Swiss Confederation and guarantees the authenticity of the Covid certificate, according to the Federal Department of Finance.
