A European Medical Agency has also said that fully vaccinated travellers should avoid quarantine and tests to make it easier and cheaper, encouraging more travellers.
In February, when Catenae were asked to participate in the government scheme, their CEO, Guy Meyer, said they looked forward to “highlighting the commercial benefits of the Digital Identity Policy, as well as advising how organisations should handle and protect people’s data.
“Given that Catenae is ISO 27001 accredited and has blockchain at the core of its platform, the company is well placed to leverage opportunities in this space.”
Catenae’s share price rose over 20% to 3.21p, following the news. They have since given up some of those gains, now trading at 2.725p, up 9% from Wednesday’s close.
