Guidance: Carrying out mandatory COVID-19 status checks at your venue or event

Guidance has been published for organisations setting out which venues and events must use the NHS COVID Pass, or equivalent proof of vaccination or testing, as a condition of entry, and how to operate the scheme.  It is published on the basis that if approved by Parliament, checking the COVID-19 status of attendees will be mandatory in certain settings from 6am Wednesday 15 December.

The guidance ‘Using your NHS COVID Pass for travel abroad and at venues and settings in England’ has also been updated to include the new mandatory certification rules on visiting certain venues and events coming into force on Wednesday 15 December if approved by Parliament.
