The report shows that the EU certificate has been a crucial element in Europe&#8217;s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, with more than 591 million certificates generated. The certificate, which covers COVID-19 vaccination, test and recovery, facilitates safe travel for citizens, and it has also been key to support Europe&#8217;s hard-hit tourism industry. The EU Digital COVID Certificate is a success worldwide: it has set a global standard and is currently the only system already in operation at international level. 43 countries across four continents are plugged into the system, and more will follow over the coming weeks and months.<\/p>\n<p>As said by President Ursula\u00a0<strong>von der Leyen<\/strong>\u00a0in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/commission\/presscorner\/detail\/en\/SPEECH_21_4701\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">her 2021 State of the Union Address<\/a>, the EU Digital COVID Certificate shows that\u00a0<em>\u201cWhen we act together, we are able to act fast.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The success of the EU Digital COVID Certificate system in figures:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>EU Member States have issued more than\u00a0<strong>591<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>million EU Digital COVID Certificates<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>43 countries are already connected to the\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/info\/live-work-travel-eu\/coronavirus-response\/safe-covid-19-vaccines-europeans\/eu-digital-covid-certificate_en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>EU system<\/strong><\/a>: 27 EU Member States, 3 European Economic Area (EEA) countries, Switzerland, and 12 other countries and territories.
