Israel’s Pangea offers digital health ‘passport’ to ease travel amid pandemic
(Worthy News) – Israeli firm Pangea, a maker of smart digital ID cards and border control software, is hoping to use its know-how to help airports reopen during the coronavirus pandemic to jumpstart travel and tourism.
The Herzliya-based company says a “biometric smart card” it has developed can now be used by governments to verify that the holders are virus free or have immunity, thus enabling them to reopen their borders to tourists while ensuring the virus doesn’t spread.
