I think the "Safe" countries are kept updated; even if the rest is from last year. I only ran across it because the tourist board in Montenegro was advertising this week that they met the "Safe" standards. To be honest, I havent read much of it. But it was travel related so I thought someone here might be interested.

Insurance is an interesting issue. For my upcoming trip the country I am going to requires I have COVID insurance from a country with headquarters in that country. The country posts links on their travel information website The cost is 3 euro a day.

This might be a useful resource along with the many other C-19 related sites I follow, but I can't seem to find the list of Safe Countries. Is there one?

WTTC is a trade and lobbying group for the travel industry. Their purpose is to promote travel and tourism while representing their members.

What IATA is to the airlines, WTTC is to the travel trade. Nothing official. More than likely, although I haven't been able to confirm it, the "Safe Stamp" will only be available to their members.

However, British Airways is working on their own app for travelers who have been vaccinated.

I have an official vaccination certificate from the CDC and the state of West Virginia. It's every bit as genuine as my driver's license and other forms of ID.

Could it be forged? Yes. Anything can be forged.
