LONDON: The British government has confirmed that he plans to introduce a vaccine passport for nightclubs and massive meetings from next month.
Vaccine Minister Nadhim Zahawi said on Sunday that officials were looking to start certification steps from the end of September, when the entire population of more than 18 will be offered two doses of Covid-19 vaccine.
Zahawi told Sky News that this was “the right thing to do” to ensure the economy remains open.
However, lawmakers and businesses, however, have criticized their divisions and said they could moisturize nightclubs in cases of discrimination.
“The best thing to do is work with the industry to ensure that they can open safely and sustainably in the long run, and the best way to do this is to check the status of vaccines,” he said.
The plan means that people who want to enter the nightclub and other large-scale events will be asked to show evidence, they have two doses of coronavirus vaccines.
Scottish leader Nicola Sturgeon said earlier this week the vaccine passport would be needed for nightclubs and major events from the end of this month because Scotland faced a surge in infection.
