Currently abroad and preparing to travel back home to Zurich. My wife and I are both fully vaccinated so will show our vac me certificates to board the flight.
My almost 2.5 year old is not vaccinated and needs to show proof of recovery. I applied for proof of recovery and have the paper certificate as it was mailed to our flat via postal mail. However, I stupidly did not bring it with me.
Is there a way to download that Recovery Certificate somewhere? I applied for it here https://covidcertificate-form.admin.ch/form but I don't see anywhere to download the certificate after it's been generated.
I am checking latest entry requirements and it appears only over 16 year olds need the certificate? So therefore my 2.5 year old does not need any covid documentation? https://www.bag.admin.ch/bag/en/home...ml#-1582639405 Just want to double check before I board the flight later this week.
Call your airline. Governments have delegated oversight over documentation to the airlines. Doesn’t matter what the rule actually is, it’s the airline’s interpretation of said rule that counts.
As far as I know, the recovery certificate is only a paper version and cannot be downloaded, only mailed. Do you have electronic copy? Is it in your Covid app?
Switzerland does not require anyone less than 16 years of age to be vaccinated, have a recovery certificate or have a negative test to enter. But you should check with your airline because they are sometimes clueless about entry requirements.
No I did not scan it. It arrived the morning of our flight and we were such in a rush. I’m not totally sure where I put it even if I were to have someone go to the flat. Why is this not available to download? I don’t know if the 2.5 yo needs a cert that’s why I’m asking. I asked Swiss and waiting for response
If you're flying back to Switzerland, you don't need any sort of certificate for anyone 16 years old or younger. If it is your country of departure that requires it, it's a different story, but you should be able to find that out from local sources there, not from Swiss.
It's not linked to any secure account, unlike the vaccination one which is stored into your VacMe account. The why does not really matter here, it's just not.... But like others have said, this is not needed for entry into CH.
I have my paper certificate which says "Recovered". Will Easyjet at Zurich let me on a plane to the UK with that? Will it count as vaccinated as far as the UK are concerned for entry purposes? This is my first flight in years, since the first Covid outbreak, so slightly concerned!
