    Este trabajo aborda el debate provocado en torno a los pasa-portes COVID como instrumento para construir una nueva normalidad. Nos preguntamos si estos pasaportes pueden ser la base para condicionar derechos y libertades y, de este modo, proteger la salud pública. Se analizan diferentes propuestas y posiciones y se comprueba cómo los meses de pandemia han acabado por legitimar el recurso a estos pasaportes. Esta idea evoca otros documentos de salud que están proliferando en la sociedad de la información: carnés de vacunación, pasaportes genéticos y pasaportes biológicos. Analizando los correspondientes debates, observamos que un conocimiento científico sólido podría sustentar una legitimación en sede laboral: la protección y mejora de la salud ocupacional. Este análisis demuestra que estos documentos son una realidad; por ello, el ordenamiento jurídico laboral no puede mantenerse al margen, sino que debe ofrecer una regulación que garantice la no discriminación, proteja la intimidad y los datos, y favorezca la autonomía personal del trabajador.

    This paper addresses the debate relating to COVID pass-ports as a tool to build a new normality. We wonder if these passports could be a foundation for creating conditions in civic rights and free-doms and, in turn, protect public health. Different proposals and posi-tions are analyzed, and by doing so, verifying the legitimacy of COVID passports based on what we have experienced during the months of the pandemic. This idea evokes other health documents that are prolif-erating in the digital age: vaccination cards, genetic passports, and bio-logical passports. Analyzing the corresponding debates, we observe that solid scientific knowledge could support a legitimation in labor court: the protection and improvement of occupational health. This analysis shows that these documents are a reality; for this reason, the labor legal system cannot remain on the sidelines, but it must offer a regulation that guarantees non-discrimination, protects privacy and data, and favors the personal autonomy of workers.
