A new online application facility has been opened to allow members of the public to apply for a Covid Recovery Certificate without contacting the helpline.
The online Recovery Certificate portal - Recovery Certificate Portal - will allow people to fill out a form online to request a certificate of recovery.
The department said it will operate in conjunction with the freephone number and advised that people can apply for the cert if they had a positive RT-PCR test more than 11 days ago and less than six months ago.
This certificate proves that you have had Covid-19 in the last six months and is considered another form of the EU Digital Covid Certificate.
