Japanese newspaper Nikkei has said the country will issue online Covid-19 vaccination certificates from December, Reuters reports.
The government plans to issue the certificates — which will be intended for overseas travel rather than domestic use — via a QR scan code through a smartphone app from around mid-December, the Nikkei said, without citing sources.
Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga and other cabinet members are slated on Monday for a council meeting on the promotion of a digital society where they will decide on the government's policy for digital vaccine passports, the report said.
