Deputy C.S. Alves of St. Helier will ask the following question of the Minister for Health and Social Services –

"Will the Minister advise what consideration, if any, has been given to issuing copies of the pathology P.C.R. test results in the form of certificates via e-mail to inbound travellers and to those undergoing workforce testing?" WQ.178/2021

The following response was provided in writing in accordance with Standing Order 63(9) as the oral question was not asked before the end of the time allowed for Oral Questions:

Jersey, like most jurisdictions developing a Covid Status Certificate scheme, is initially providing residents with secure evidence of their vaccination status. This has already been successfully delivered in paper format and work is underway to deliver it in a digital format.

The next stage for Covid Status Certification will be to provide secure evidence of a negative PCR test in the last 72 hours. Timelines for this work are still under development.

The final stage will be to consider whether to incorporate evidence of previous infection (either a previous positive PCR test or antibodies) and how best to do so.
