My understanding of how it will operate is that people can contact a call centre that is being set up and then a digital Covid-19 certificate can be arranged for them. It will be based on their testing and tracing history. It can then be issued. I heard the commentary yesterday. I appreciate that people want absolute clarity but I remind the Deputy and colleagues that what the Government said was it would have a plan ready by 19 July. The Minister, Deputy Catherine Martin, and others were being asked for details that are still being worked through. Normally, if were not dealing with a pandemic or react quickly to the Delta variant, these kinds of things would take many months. The committee would carry out pre-legislative scrutiny-----
