Dr. Brian Anderson, a chief digital health physician, says creating a digital option would help people trying to return to work safely.
“So that their employer can help set those individuals up in an environment where they can have a degree of trustworthiness, that their fellow employees are vaccinated that their patrons to that restaurant are vaccinated to ensure that individuals are safe and healthy," Anderson said.

An app with the digital option is expected to be available next month for companies to start using and hundreds have already signed on.
When it comes to your privacy, app creators say it will be up to you to make sure companies aren’t sharing that data with others by double-checking the privacy policies.
