A Helsinki-based company has sold forged certificates that baselessly state the document's holder is Covid-free for international travel purposes, according to an Yle investigation.
Many countries require passengers to present proof they are Covid-free in order to board flights. Some domestic employers also require such proof from, for example, workers from abroad.
The firm has sold the certificates for 70 euros apiece, a significantly lower price than legitimate ones issued by private health care companies.
