Vaccine certificates won't play a role in the initial re-opening of England's economy - minister

Tue, 06th Apr 2021 07:13

LONDON, April 6 (Reuters) - Pubs and restaurants won't
require vaccine certificates when they reopen under the current
plans for an exit from lockdown in England, Minister for COVID
Vaccine Deployment Nadhim Zahawi said on Tuesday.

Step 2 out of the roadmap will see shops and pub gardens
reopen next week, while the reopening of indoor hospitality
venues in step 3 is slated for May.

"Domestically, the step two, which we're coming up to, (and)
step three, there will be absolutely no issue around pubs or
restaurants requiring any form of certification," Zahawi told
Sky News.

"But it's only responsible as we see how this virus behaves,
as we see how other countries are utilising technology to make
sure that they keep the virus under control, then we should look
at the same thing."
