Is the Pinephone and Pinephone Pro able to use these very necessary apps ?
or will we have to carry around an android phone for this purpose ?
There is a tracing app for SailfishOS, although it might not work properly on the PinePhone. For Covid passports it should be enough to have the certificate handy in any form which might as well be a PDF file with the QR code and all the info. No app needed in that case. But there is also Vakzination, a KDE app which offers that functionality.

Please don't start this victimization bullshit (sorry for my choice of words, I don't mean to attack you personally, but sentences like that are left uncommented far too often). Trivializing the horrors of the Nazi regime with absurd comparisons to the current and very different situation is paradoxically a very real part of spreading radical and harmful ideas. Here and here are some articles about this.
