The data must be in the electronic health system
All Lithuanian citizens over the age of 16 will be able to receive a passport of opportunity. This document will be linked to the eHealth system. This means that the Opportunity Passport can only be kept in cases where the data on vaccination, disease or test result is in the electronic health system, that is, it has been entered by Lithuanian health professionals. For people under the age of 16 who wish to benefit from less strict quarantine conditions, it will be sufficient to present an identity document.
There are different algorithms for vaccines.
Comirnaty (manufactured by BioNTech and Pfizer) and Moderna (manufactured by Moderna) require 2 doses of vaccine. Once these vaccines have been administered, the Opportunity Passport will be available 1 week after the second dose of the vaccine. For those who have received Janssen (manufactured by Janssen Pharmaceutica NV) and Vaxzevria (manufactured by AstraZeneca), the Opportunity Passport will be available 4 weeks after the vaccine is administered. Important: Vaxzevria vaccine recipients will still need a second vaccine, to be given no later than 12 weeks after the first dose.
Conditions for survivors of COVID-19
Coronavirus in COVID-19 Survivors the diagnosis should be confirmed with a positive PCR test or antigen test. To be eligible for the Opportunity Passport, no more than 180 days must have elapsed since the positive result of this test and the isolation period must have expired.

In this case, the person must contact their family doctor to enter the medical data in the electronic health system.
The status of the opportunity passport must be renewed every 7 days
Both those vaccinated and those who have relapsed must renew their Opportunity Passport status (QR code) every 7 days, since the risk remains both after and after vaccination against the coronavirus. Vaccinated or sick people will need to enter their personal authentication details every 7 days on a specially designed website through the e-government gateway and save the provided QR code on their phone or computer each time.
The tests are valid for 24 hours.
The opportunity passport will also be available after the test. The test is valid for 24 hours from the time of sampling, that is, from the time the test is performed, but not from the time the test results are entered into the electronic health system.

Antibody test still does not provide access to Passport of Opportunity
