The CoronaCheck app

So, how does the CoronaCheck app work?

After downloading the app from the Google Play Store or the Apple Store, you can request the creation of a QR-code. This QR-code grants you access to events and festivals, pubs and restaurants, but also our Vectum activities. There are three ways one can obtain a QR-code; you can get a negative test, you have gotten and recovered from COVID-19, or you are fully vaccinated.

By now, you should all be familiar with how this works. A cotton swab is probed into your nose. After a negative test result, you get a code you can put into the CoronaCheck-app and a QR-code is generated. Obviously, if you have a positive test response, you self-quarantine. Do note that the QR-code generated by a negative test is only viable for 24 hours. This means that you will have to get tested on a weekly basis if you want to attend all Vectum activities, which you obviously want. For now, tests for commercial use are free, but it is unsure how long this will last. You can arrange for a test at Testen voor toegang - Laat je testen voor toegang.

In the unfortunate case, you have gotten COVID-19 in the past 6 months and have fully recovered, you can also get your QR-code. Do mind that the presence of SARS-CoV-2 might need to have been discovered by a PCR test, and not an antigen test, for you to be given the applicable QR-code. Further course of action, like vaccination, is not needed until after the 6 months after infection.

vaccination

Finally, you can, of course, also get your QR-code if you are fully vaccinated. This means you either got two doses of Pfizer, AstraZeneca, or Moderna, or one shot of Janssen. Please note that you have to wait four weeks after getting your final vaccination in case you have been vaccinated with the Janssen vaccine and two weeks after all else for the QR-code to be generated.

If you are non-Dutch, but within the EU, you can use your national variant of the CoronaCheck-app. For example, if you are German and got (fully) vaccinated in Germany, you can use either the CovPass app or the Corona-Warn app and still get access to all events.
