Ms Elizabeth Canavan:

The number is going live this morning. As I say, we encourage people to wait for the next few days. If they expect a digital Covid certificate, ringing the line will not help them. Just wait for the next few days. The certificates are on their way. If someone who has a certificate has an urgent query because they are travelling on 19 July 2021, then the phone line will be able to help them. We want to prioritise that particular group of people. We urge people to wait over the next few days as the certificates arrive. They will not all arrive today. However, there is a rolling schedule to get them out before 19 July 2021.
