LPR starts issuing vaccination QR-codes recognized in Russia

LPR medical institutions offering anti-coronavirus jabs are now issuing QR-codes confirming the vaccination, the acting dean of the Lugansk city polyclinic No.12 Elena Bratischenko said.

"The process of generating QR-codes has started today. To receive a QR-code for vaccinations that took place during summer months, as well as for current inoculations, one has to present his LPR passport, and they will receive a QR-code".

QR-codes and hard copies of certificates are issued in inoculation centres where a patient received a jab.

LPR vaccination certificates are recognized in Russia.

The World Health Organization called the COVID-19 coronavirus infection a pandemic caused by a novel coronavirus. The first coronavirus infection cases were recorded in China in late 2019. The number of coronavirus contacts across the world has exceeded 259.5 million by now; of those, over 5.1 million people died, according to the WHO. The LPR confirmed 20,621 COVID-19 cases.

To prevent the spread of the coronavirus infection, the LPR authorities put the Republic on high alert and introduced lockdown measures. *t
