Loose Lips Sync City: The "Travel without COVID" App might be Compulsory for EAEU Travellers

Gearing up for some jet-setting? Buckle up, EAEU citizens! In a tweet storm that's setting social media ablaze, Bagdat Mussin, Kazakhstan's Minister of Digital Development, put it out there—the "Travel without COVID" app is here to make your travels worry-free, and it's now available for Kazakhs. But wait, there's more! Russia's Deputy Prime Minister, Alexei Overchuk, has also hinted at making the app mandatory for entry into Russia starting July.

So what's the big deal with this app? According to scientists and tech bigwigs at Sputnik Kazakhstan, the "Travel without COVID" app could be the game-changer we've been waiting for. Instead of forcing you to carry stacks of test results and juggle vaccine cards, this handy little app generates a QR code once you test negative for COVID-19. Wave your smartphone at the scanner, and bam! You're good to go!

But that's not all—the app isn't just for show; it's also there to ensure that your fellow travellers stay COVID-free too. Tigran Sargsyan, the mastermind behind the system, breaks it down—if you've got a 'green' QR code in both your departure and arrival countries, your risk of spreading COVID while travelling significantly drops.

Now, you might be wondering, what's all this fuss about the EAEU? The EAEU—short for Eurasian Economic Union—is a group consisting of Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia. Since these countries have signed certain mobility rights and travel facilitation measures under their single economic space agreements, EAEU citizens often enjoy easier travel within the union, with reduced or waived traditional visa and health documentation requirements.

Being a part of the EAEU means that the rules change for EAEU citizens, and the "Travel without COVID" app is definitely riding the wave of this regional trend. So buckle up, fellow travellers, and get ready for a platform that could streamline your travel experience across the EAEU. After all, who doesn't love a good road trip without the pesky virus?

1. Bagdat Mussin, Kazakhstan's Minister of Digital Development, has announced that the "Travel without COVID" app will be required for Kazakh citizens planning to travel.
2. The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) may soon make the "Travel without COVID" app mandatory for entry into its member countries, including Russia, as hinted by Deputy Prime Minister Alexei Overchuk.
3. Sputnik Kazakhstan's tech experts believe the "Travel without COVID" app could revolutionize the travel industry, replacing the need for physical test results and vaccination cards with a single smartphone QR code.
4. Regardless of the mandatory use within the EAEU, the "Travel without COVID" app could significantly improve the travel experience among EAEU citizens, making it easier and safer for them to travel during the COVID-19 pandemic.
