COVID-19 has developed as a highly infectious illness with vast numbers of outbreaks and casualties worldwide. The successful response to this pandemic is vital to the timely and reliable studies, as they help detect and mitigate pathogens (isolate and cure). This paper discusses this problem and contributes to it by implementing a blockchain-based approach involving self-sovereign identity (SSI) and shared storage like IPFS. Oursolution provides COVID-19 test-taker with wireless medical passports (DMP) and immune certificates. Smart contracts based on a Ethereum blockchain retains the unique digital identity for tested users who help the relevant medical authorities respond directly in a fast and trustworthy way. This solution will help significantly in contactless identification to reduce coronaspread. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
