Conclusion
It is also essential that a cost-benefit analysis is carried out and made public alongside any announcement regarding the introduction of a Covid-status certification. Such a cost-benefit analysis should include not only financial but also social and societal costs and benefits.

HM Government
Acknowledged
The Government reviewed the cost and benefits of COVID-status certification as part of the certification review. The COVID-Status Certification Review: Report sets out findings of the review across a number of areas, including public health considerations, business considerations, and ethics & equalities considerations. The Events Research Programme concluded that, where possible, certification should be introduced rather than more economically restrictive measures. Published findings will be made available in due course.
