Airlines are testing a new COVID-19 digital health pass so passengers can easily prove they've tested negative for coronavirus

Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.Beginning this week, travelers on select airlines can download the CommonPass, which is a digital certificate passengers can use in order to prove that they've tested negative for the coronavirus.

Trials in October are going to be monitored by a handful of government agencies, like the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as US border officials. The pilot programs begin as there currently isn't a formal international system of universal quarantine requirements. "Bans, bubbles and quarantines may provide short-term protection but developed and developing nations alike need a long-term, flexible, and risk-based approach."CLEAR, a biometric security company, announced that it's collaborating with Quest Diagnostics to construct the "Health Pass." It's a new mobile app that connects a person's identity to "multiple layers of COVID-19 related insights," according to a press release.
