Google rolled out support for a digital COVID-19 vaccine certificate card for the Pay app on Android devices, which can now store and display COVID-19 test and vaccination information.
The updated Passes API is available for government and healthcare providers or authorized third parties in the U.S. It gives developers the ability to create digital COVID-19 vaccine and test cards.
When a user wants to access their COVID Card, they will be asked for the password, pin or biometric method set up for their Android device. The device will require the lock screen in order to store the card.
The function will first be made available in the United States and will then be expanded to other countries, a Google Developers blog post written by Irfan Faizullabhoy stated.
“Once a user stores the digital version of the COVID Card to their device, they will be able to access it via a shortcut on their device home screen, even when they are offline or in areas that have weak internet service,” Faizullabhoy explained. “To use this feature, the device needs to run Android 5 or later and be Play Protect certified.”

In the last decade Open Science principles have been successfully advocated for and are being slowly adopted in different research communities. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic many publishers and researchers have sped up their adoption of Open Science practices, sometimes embracing them fully and sometimes partially or in a sub-optimal manner. In this article, we express concerns about the violation of some of the Open Science principles and its potential impact on the quality of research output. We provide evidence of the misuses of these principles at different stages of the scientific process. We call for a wider adoption of Open Science practices in the hope that this work will encourage a broader endorsement of Open Science principles and serve as a reminder that science should always be a rigorous process, reliable and transparent, especially in the context of a pandemic where research findings are being translated into practice even more rapidly.
