Covid security
Solutions and occupational health care company Latus Health have put forward active pilot proposals to Gov- ernment to get football, rugby union and rugby league fans back into sports stadiums across the UK in a safe and controlled manner.
Commenting on the pilot scheme Mike Tindall MBE said: “Getting fans back to watching live sport safely is the number one priority for clubs, teams and fans right now. Providing safe, ac- curate testing and ensuring that each person has a secure digital health passport to authenticate their test sta- tus result is vital to be able to do this. The fans are the lifeblood of any sport - without them it’s just not the same and so this is a great step forward. The test is simple, easy to use and the results are then uploaded to the app on your mobile phone which fans can present when asked and it will also re- mind you when your next test is due, hopefully enabling the long term safe return of fans.”
How it works
Pilot programmes will see a sample group of between 500-5000 home fans tested a day prior to a special- ly designated ‘friendly game’ using a Covid-19 rapid test kit. Each testing kit will also be provided with an ul- tra-secure digital health passport to be used on the fan’s mobile phone called V-Health Passport. The ultra-secure digital passport will authenticate and validate the fans Covid-19 status. Unlike contact tracing apps used by the Government, the V-Health Pass- port does not track or trace a person’s live location or breach personal priva- cy protocols and ensures personal data is ultra-secure to the fan using the most advanced security protocols and encryption. The V-Health Passport is a unique cyber security technology app powered by the ultra-secure VCode which works alongside a Covid-19 testing kit to provide an intelligent traffic light system on a smart phone to authenticate a person’s test status of positive or negative. “Red” indi- cates a positive, “Green” indicates a negative test result and “Amber” indi- cates a countdown trigger date to the next test date required.
The Fans Are Back pilot programmes will be over- seen by event safety team HALO Solutions Ltd who have unrivalled expertise in public safety and event management. The team have extensive experience managing and supporting events such as the Crick- et World Cup 2019, Isle Of Wight Festivals, BBC Sports Personality Of The Year to British Athletics providing event safety and management. Med- ical administration and testing will be carried out by Latus Health who have extensive experience in occupational health for corporates and Covid-19 testing with clients rang- ing from investment bank JP Morgan to Morrison’s supermarkets.
A test group of home fans will be selected by their
football or rugby team randomly to attend the pilot Fans Are Back event. Each will be instructed to download the V-Health Passport onto their mo- bile phone prior to the testing day. The fan will then enter their details, name, address, date of birth, phone number doctors details onto their V-Health Passport and also confirm their offi- cial identity by uploading their official Government ID in the form of passport or drivers licence document. The up- loaded documents are then verified against the phone’s facial recognition to match the persons details in a “like- ness test”. The sample group of fans will then be invited to attend and take a Covid-19 rapid test at a pre-defined location, by pre booked appointment the day prior to the event. Upon arrival at the test site they will be asked to present their V-Health Passport for scanning and a temperature check will be taken be- fore being directed to a test station for the Covid 19 test.

fans test status is then uploaded to their V-Health Passport. The V-Health Passport will then show a GDPR com- pliant screen when presented to of- ficials for scanning showing the fans official photograph and a green traffic light symbol to confirm ‘negative’ test status and the date of the test. A more in depth and detailed screen can only be viewed by authorised medical staff. The fan is then advised to return home and self-isolate until the pilot match the next day.
On match day the fans are then in- vited to return to the stadium and present their V-Health Passport which is scanned by event security officials and stewards to confirm who they are and their valid V-Health Passport and Covid-19 test status. The V-Health Passport can be scanned by officials up to 100 metres away in social dis- tancing and while crowds are ingesting into an event, thus preventing choke points and bottle necks on entry. The details uploaded to the V-Health Passport can also then be used for
