The purpose of SafeTravelPass is to allow travelers to record their COVID-19 status electronically and present it when they board a plane or cross a border, giving both the traveler and the country assurance that safe traveling is taking place.

To use it, travelers take a COVID-19 test at a verified lab and share their results with SafeTravelPass. From there, they complete any additional screening measures set up by the destination country.

Following these trials, SafeTravelPass will expand to airlines and routes across Asia, Africa, the Americas, Europe and the Middle East.
