On March 31, the World Health Organization (WHO) published a guide on the documentation required to implement digital certificates of COVID-19 test results.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The guide on the implementation of digital documentation for COVID-19 tests or examinations is the second guide published by the WHO on these topics. The organization previously published a similar document referring to the status of vaccination and digital certification.<\/a><\/p>

The new guide is intended to be a supporting document for countries in their efforts to develop or adopt a digital system for the verification of COVID-19 tests. In this way, the guide contains technical specifications and information on the interoperability standards that must be present in a system of this type.<\/p>

The digital certificate can be used to confirm that international travelers have a negative result on their most recent COVID-19 test.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

This document is the result of the working groups that the WHO implemented at the end of 2020 when the vaccination processes began. The Digital Documentation of COVID-19 Certificates (DDCC) strategy emerged from these meetings.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In this case, the WHO classifies COVID-19 test systems as DDCC:TR (test result). That is, a certificate that confirms the fact that an individual has been tested for COVID-19 and also shows its result.<\/p>

This document can be completely digital and stored directly on a mobile phone or on a cloud server. The DDCC:TR has digital security specifications, for example, a professional signature, a QR code, a PDF document with a barcode, among others.<\/p>

Likewise, the WHO shows in the guide the ethical considerations for the implementation of this digital solution. For example, the results are only documented for individual health purposes, such as diagnosis, for use in public health tasks or epidemiological surveillance.<\/p>

El 31 de marzo, la Organizaci\u00f3n Mundial de la Salud (OMS), public\u00f3 una gu\u00eda sobre la documentaci\u00f3n requerida para implementar certificados digitales de resultados de pruebas COVID-19. La gu\u00eda sobre la implementaci\u00f3n de documentaci\u00f3n digital para pruebas o ex\u00e1menes de COVID-19, es la segunda gu\u00eda que publica la OMS sobre estos temas. Previamente la organizaci\u00f3n public\u00f3 un documento similar referente a el estado de la vacunaci\u00f3n y la certificaci\u00f3n digital. La nueva gu\u00eda tiene como objetivo ser un documento de apoyo para pa\u00edses en sus tareas de desarrollar o adoptar un sistema digital para la verificaci\u00f3n de pruebas de COVID-19. De esta forma, la gu\u00eda contiene especificaciones t\u00e9cnicas e informaci\u00f3n sobre los est\u00e1ndares de interoperabilidad que deben estar presentes en un sistema de este tipo. El certificado digital puede ser utilizado para confirmar que viajeros internacionales cuentan con un resultado negativo en su prueba de COVID-19 m\u00e1s reciente. Este documento es resultado de los grupos de trabajo que la OMS implement\u00f3 a finales de 2020 cuando comenzaron los procesos de vacunaci\u00f3n. De estas reuniones surgi\u00f3 la estrategia Digital Documentation of COVID-19 Certificates (DDCC). En este caso, la OMS clasifica los sistemas de pruebas de COVID-19, como DDCC:TR (test result). Es decir, un certificado que confirma el hecho de que a un individuo se le ha realizado una prueba de COVID-19 y adem\u00e1s muestra su resultado. Este documento puede ser completamente digital y ser almacenado directamente en un tel\u00e9fono m\u00f3vil o en un servidor en la nube. El DDCC:TR cuenta con especificaciones digitales de seguridad, por ejemplo, una firma de un profesional, un c\u00f3digo QR, un documento PDF con c\u00f3digo de barras, entre otras. Asimismo, la OMS muestra en la gu\u00eda las consideraciones \u00e9ticas para la implementaci\u00f3n de esta soluci\u00f3n digital. Por ejemplo, los resultados solo se documentan con fines de salud individual, como el diagn\u00f3stico, para su uso en tareas de salud p\u00fablica o vigilancia epidemiol\u00f3gica.
