Health Minister Keheliya Rambukwella, following discussions with members of the Public Health Inspectors Association yesterday, said the technical issues pertaining to making the Covid-19 vaccination certificate mandatory to enter public places were being sorted out.
A QR code to certify that a person had already been vaccinated would be transmitted to the mobile phones of individuals via a special App, the Health minister said, adding that though there was no legal provision to make people receive the vaccine compulsory, the authorities had the power to make the vaccination certificate compulsory for everyone to enter public places for the safety of the people.
