1. When notifying an alert in the PLF exchange platform, the EWRS competent authorities of the Member State where the infected passenger is identified shall transmit the following PLF data to the EWRS competent authorities of the Member State of the infected passenger’s initial departure, or residence where the place of residence is different from the place of initial departure, or to the Member State of the infected passenger’s last departure, where the Member State only requires the completion of a PLF for the last leg of a journey: (a) first name; (b) last name; (c) date of birth; (d) phone number (landline and/or mobile); (e) e-mail address; (f) address of residence. 1a. The EWRS competent authorities shall also transmit, through the PLF exchange platform, the PLF data referred to in paragraph 1 of exposed persons to the EWRS competent authorities of the Member States of initial departure or residence of those persons, or to the Member State of the infected passenger’s last departure where the Member State only requires the completion of a PLF for the last leg of a journey, provided that such data were collected in the context of contact tracing measures carried out following the identification of an infected passenger, and provided that their transmission is necessary for the purpose of contact tracing. 1b. The EWRS competent authorities transmitting the data referred to in paragraphs 1 and 1a shall indicate whether they refer to an infected passenger or to an exposed person. 2. The EWRS competent authorities of the Member State of initial or last departure of the infected passenger or of the exposed person may transmit the PLF data received to a Member State of departure other than the one declared in the PLF as Member State of departure, where they have additional information pointing to the Member State that should perform the contact tracing. 3. If necessary to identify exposed persons, when notifying an alert in the PLF exchange platform, the EWRS competent authorities of the Member State where the infected passenger is identified shall transmit the following PLF data, in relation to each available leg of that passenger’s journey, to the EWRS competent authorities of all Member States: (a) place of departure of each concerned transport, unless the place can be identified through the information under point (e); (b) place of arrival of each concerned transport, unless the place can be identified through the information under point (e); (c) date of departure of each concerned transport; (d) type of each concerned transport (e.g. plane, train, coach, ferry, ship); (e) identification number of each concerned transport (e.g. flight number, train number, coach’s number plate, ferry or ship name); (f) seat/cabin number in each concerned transport; (g) time of departure of each concerned transport, unless the time can be identified through the information under point (e). 4. Where the EWRS competent authorities of the Member State notifying the alert can identify the Member States concerned based on information at their disposal, they shall transmit the data listed in paragraph 3 only to the EWRS competent authorities of those Member States. 5. The EWRS competent authorities shall be able to provide the following epidemiological data, where this is necessary in order to perform effective contact tracing: (a) type of test performed; (b) variant of SARS-CoV-2 virus; (c) date of sampling; (d) date of symptom onset. 6. Where the national PLF system of a Member State is temporarily unavailable, the EWRS competent authorities of the Member State that collected the personal data referred to in paragraphs 1, 3 and 5 from the transport carriers, from the infected passenger or from the exposed person on the basis of national law may transmit such data through the PLF exchange platform for contact tracing purposes, during the period of temporary unavailability.
