New York rolls out first digital COVID-19 Passports

COVID-19 vaccination passports have become a practical reality in the US. As USA Today reports, New York state has launched a digital Excelsior Pass that residents can use to prove they’ve been vaccinated or recently tested negative for infection. You can use your phone’s virtual wallet (on Android or iOS) or a printout to flash a QR code and otherwise show that you’re safe when you want to go to a concert or stage performance.The initial adopters will be large venues. Madison Square Garden in New York City will start using Excelsior Pass thsi coming week, with Albany’s Times Union Center also in the pipeline. The passes will be useful in smaller venues starting April 2nd, and they’re already useful to increase the attendance size of catered events like weddings.
