The general secretary of the Employer of the Night Ocio, Joaquim Boadas, explained in Món to Rac1 that they have already raised this option to the Government to accompany a Covid pass that the Catalan executive has already confirmed.Specifically, it would be a mobile application that would confirm by facial recognition that the user has the complete vaccination pattern, it has recovered from the virus - and is between the 11th and 180s after the positive - or has given negative in atest.

The Government plans to apply the Covid pass, but not in the restoration or culture already open

In this last point, precisely, there are differences between Government and employer of nightlife since the Catalan executive wants.

The app, which took place last year in Valencia, is free, does not allow changes in the user's biometric profile and relies on doctors, pharmacists or laboratory workers who will be responsible for validating that the user has complied with at leastOf one of these three requirements of the Covid pass.

If someone enters with a falsified certificate this whole formula goes to the gate "

"If you use an app that makes you a biometric recognition and can be applied safely you avoid fakes," Boadas argued.And is that one of the problems that are being found several European countries that already use the Covid pass, such as France and Italy, are the falsifications of this passport to access discos, bars or restaurants.

The general secretary of the Night Octon Employers argues that this Biometric Recognition would give "security".And it is that "if someone enters with a falsified certificate - you have followed - this whole formula goes to the gate".

The Government allows to open nightlife until 3, but only outdoor spaces

The supreme opens the door to the Covid pass throughout Spain

In addition, from Fecasarm they expose that the mentioned application gives the possibility of drawing positive contacts anonymously, a key point to overcome the prohibition of justice to store personal data.

The general secretary of the Employer of the Night Once has also commented in RAC1 that since the Department of Salut they have accepted their proposal to end up establishing a system of geographically differentiated alerts.This would allow adapting the measures to the health situation of each zone without being generic for all of Catalonia."The objective is that there is legal certainty, that it is not necessary.
