As part of the SK-EU DCC project, the European Commission will pay Member States the costs of issuing EU Digital COVID Cards. Minister of Health Vladimír Lengvarský signed a grant contract for several beneficiaries. On the basis of this, the Slovak Republic will be allocated €1 million in funding. To ensure the issuance of EU Digital COVID cards, Member States have incurred costs which are borne by the European Commission. The Member States, including Slovakia, will receive money under the European Union Emergency Support Instrument. The Ministry of Health has taken on the role of coordinator of the project in question, in which it manages the project consortium and negotiates with the European Commission the necessary grant procedures. Together with the Department of Health SK-EU DCC, the Ministry of Interior of the Slovak Republic, the Ministry of Investment, Regional Development and Informatics of the Slovak Republic, the National Health Information Centre and the Office of Public Health of the Slovak Republic joined the project.The EU Digital COVID Card serves as evidence that the person was vaccinated against COVID-19 disease, passed the test with negative results or disease.
