Safe travel is an industry priority and a strong consumer desire during the age of COVID-19. Many are highly anticipating opportunities when they can enjoy a vacation or go see a loved one, without experiencing stress and worry about the state of the pandemic.
The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) is working on bringing safe travel to consumers even as they navigate the difficulties that COVID-19 poses. The AOKpass is described as a "risk mitigation tool" and is fully scalable. Users who opt-in for the service can "present digitally authenticated, secure and portable copies of medical records to government authorities, border agencies and employers, without compromising their personal data." When implementing such a solution, governments and border authorities ensure a lower risk of breakouts.
