How does a Covid passport work in the UK and who needs it?
Life in the UK will return to near normal on Monday as nearly all coronavirus restrictions are eased. However, as cases increase across the country, many organizations may introduce a Covid passport to keep everyone safe. Health Minister Sajid Javid and Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed Monday that the final phase of deregulation would take place on July 19. While people are no longer legally required to wear face masks or social distancing, Prime Minister Johnson has called for caution and encouraged businesses and large events to enact so-called vaccine passports. A vaccine passport is a term attached to a certificate confirming that you have been vaccinated against COVID-19 or that you have recently tested negative. They have been implemented in certain countries like Austria as a way to keep people infected with the coronavirus from entering certain places. In the UK, the vaccination passport is called the NHS Covid Pass. If you are 16 years of age or older, you may be eligible for an NHS Covid Pass depending on your vaccination status or your COVID-19 test results. The one meter plus rule will be fully repealed on July 19th. However, some guidelines for maintaining social distancing in certain circumstances remain in lieu of legal restrictions. Social distancing guidelines will continue if someone is Covid-positive and self-isolates, travelers arriving from yellow or red-listed countries are at airports or other ports of entry to avoid mixing with travelers from green-listed areas. UK social contact restrictions will disappear. This means the 6-person limit indoors and the 30-person limit for outdoor gatherings ends. Although there is no legal requirement to wear a face covering during the final stage of unlocking, there are still guidelines recommending the use of a mask in some settings, including hospitals, medical facilities, and crowded public places. Work from home guidance is in progress. It is ultimately up to the employer to decide whether to keep the employee at home or in the office, but the government says employers can plan the employees return to work. The current limit on the number of people who can attend weddings, funerals and other life events ends on July 19th. The changes to the Covid rules announced by Boris Johnson will only affect England and will not change the rules in Northern Ireland, Wales or Scotland. Health Minister Eluned Morgan said on Monday 5 July that the Welsh government would like to work with other parts of the UK to lift the coronavirus restrictions, but only if it suits Wales. The Scottish government has further delayed the large-scale reopening until 19 July, when it planned to transition all regions to Phase 0. We aim to lift all major restrictions in Scotland by August 9th. Some significant restrictions have already been relaxed in Northern Ireland, including allowing the resumption of live music and lifting caps on organized outdoor gatherings. The rules will be reviewed no later than July 8th. back to top  For those who have received 2 doses of Pfizer, AstraZeneca or Moderna vaccine or 1 dose of Janssen vaccine at least 2 weeks prior. Others can get a certificate if their coronavirus PCR or flanking test results are negative within the last 48 hours. Or, if you have been infected with the virus in the past 6 months, you may become infected after self-isolation. Corona passports are digital and must be downloaded from the NHS app or NHS website.

Selected events include the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley, the Brit Awards, the World Snooker Championship, the Download Pilot Music Festival and Wimbledon. In general, the advantage of having a vaccine passport is that it gives you more opportunities to do things you might not otherwise be able to do, such as traveling. Starting next week, people who have been fully vaccinated in the UK will not need to undergo quarantine when arriving from amber list countries. Listen to the Coronavirus Podcast:  Separately, politicians said it could help normalize daily life. Secretary of State Michael Gove, speaking at the Commons Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee (PACAC) in May, said deploying passports could help economic and social life recover more quickly. Last month, PACAC lawmakers published a report that COVID-19 passports unfairly discriminate against people based on race, religion, age and socioeconomic background. The report said its implementation would be discriminatory in nature, and lawmakers did not find sufficient justification for introducing a coronavirus status accreditation system to counter potential violations of significant individual rights. Credit: PA  Some politicians and activists say vaccine passports are too far a step away since many civil liberties have already been deprived of fighting the virus. Passports have already been targeted by scams, and some fake versions have already been found online. The government said it has not made them compulsory and will only encourage organizers of large and crowded events to use them. However, guidance issued on Monday signaled that ministers may still consider making them mandatory in the future. If sufficient steps are not taken to limit the infection, the government will later consider making the NHS Covid Pass mandatory in certain locations.
