Showing a vaccine passport could unlock mass events
People could be asked to show a vaccine passport
in order to attend a big event or go to work under
plans being considered by the government.

The road map out of lockdown includes a review of
whether Covid-19 certificates “could play a role
in reopening our economy”.

It comes after weeks of ministers having
downplayed such a policy. Nadhim Zahawi, the
vaccines minister, called the idea wrong and
discriminatory in comments endorsed by Downing
Street less than a fortnight ago.

The review’s findings will be published before
the last of Boris Johnson’s four steps to
reopening the economy, which will be no earlier
than June 21.

The road map states that the review will address
whether certificates would be effective in
reducing risk and their potential uses to enable
access to certain settings.
