The difficult question is how to implement COVID-19 coronavirus screening and enable users with a clean bill of health to disseminate verified passes but at the same time maintain the privacy of individuals and ensure fraudulent passes are not being used.

Blockpass has a fast, efficient and private digital identity solution for onboarding individuals to a COVID-19 testing service, privately and securely. This will allow individuals to store, control and update their passed test credentials for dissemination to businesses, organizations, groups and events.

Blockpass COVID-19 testing verification process…

• the COVID-19 testing service is run by an authorised clinic who does the test.
• the clinic or organization doing the test can operate their service via the Blockpass KYC Connect dashboard.
• the patient creates their digital identity profile via Blockpass’ gateway and then easily sends their digital identity profile to the clinic service, onboarding instantly – with the degree of identity document authentication and KYC verification that the clinic or testing customer requires.
• the individual takes COVID-19 test.
• the clinic will issue a COVID-19 certificate to the individual’s profile if they have taken the test and prove to be clear of infection.
• the user can prove they have taken the test by forwarding on the digital certificate that is stored in their digital identity profile.
• the user can update their COVID-19 certificate validity on a regular basis, by testing again and getting a new certificate issued.

This will not guarantee that individuals are immune to COVID-19 or are non-contagious, but it serves as a useful baseline for organizations that want to mitigate the risk level to their workforce or membership.
