It will check if the personal data of the citizens are violated through the coronapass

The information on the details of Coronapass is awaited by the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection Irini Loizidou Nikolaidou to be placed on whether the personal data of the citizens are violated.

In her statements to KYPE, Ms. Nikolaidou said that first the specific proposal must come from the competent Ministries in order to consult with her Office and then she will be able to express an opinion.

What is expected, he said, is the impact assessment imposed by Coronapass, how exactly it will work, whether there will be a single database, who will be the owner of this database, how the systems will work with each other.

The Commissioner clarified that the Coronapass is not the same as the Greenpass promoted by the Commission on the basis of European directives. As he said, Greenpass is on another basis and concerns only the travels and movement of citizens inside and outside the EU, while the Coronapass is for the movement of Cypriot citizens within our country and the access they will have to various places.

Asked how to control the spread of the virus in the workplace when its directive prohibits test takers from communicating their results to the employer, Ms. Nikolaidou said that employers can request the rapid test number and the date carried out.

As he explained, if the employee was positive, the epidemiological unit of the Ministry would have informed him and he would already be in self-restraint. Therefore, by showing the number of the test receipt and its date, it is ensured that the citizen is not positive for the virus and therefore can enter the offices of his company or service.
