I understand it will be used to cross country borders inside EU. What are the other use cases?

Who can verify a code? Why not everyone can verify a code?

Who can verify a code?

Everyone

Why not everyone can verify a code?

Well you can, either by using one of the Swiss Covid Certficate Check Apps or by building your own verification app. Or if you really feel like having it: you can do it by hand. You find all informations needed in the the documentation. Both the Swiss repos as well as the eu repos hold all necessairy informations.

I linked you the two app repositories which contain the check app. iOS: https://github.com/admin-ch/CovidCertificate-App-iOS#covid-certificate-check-app Android: https://github.com/admin-ch/CovidCertificate-App-Android#covid-certificate-check-app

This is how it is mocked image

Thanks. I didn't understand the motivation for making two app (that can store and check). So I taught they may have limitation to who can access the "check app".
