Britain has no immediate plans for COVID passports for pubs - minister

Fri, 26th Mar 2021 07:28

LONDON, March 26 (Reuters) - Britain has no immediate plans
to use COVID-19 certificates to control entry into pubs and
other venues when they are allowed to reopen for indoors trading
in May, Housing Minister Robert Jenrick said on Friday.

"We are considering a whole range of things and doing that
very carefully; we are looking into the practical issues, the
ethical concerns, and we are being guided by the best medical
and scientific opinion," he told Times Radio.

"We will be bringing forward the outcome of that work in the
coming weeks; we don't have an immediate plan to take action,"
he said, adding that measures wouldn't be in place by May 17
when restrictions are further eased.
