UK Govt announcement on NHS Covid Pass

NHS COVID Pass

Today (22 July) the Minister for Vaccine Deployment, Nadhim Zahawi MP, gave a statement in Parliament on the NHS COVID Pass.

Anyone can access a Pass which allows people to demonstrate their COVID status including if they have received their vaccine, their test results or whether they have natural immunity from COVID-19.

In his statement, the Minister reiterated that deploying the Pass is the right thing to do for venues and events where large numbers of people are likely to gather and mix with people from outside their households for prolonged periods.

The Minister confirmed that, at the end of September, the government plans to make full vaccination a condition of entry to those high-risk settings where large crowds gather and interact, and that proof of a negative test will no longer be sufficient.
