UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to announce "vaccine passport" trials on Monday following the easing of current lock-down measures, local media reported.
According to the Sky News broadcaster, the government is believed to be conducting before-and-after testing at nine entertainment venues that are expected to host the pilot projects, starting in the middle of April.
Johnson is also said to be preparing to allow holiday travel abroad by introducing a "traffic light" system where travel destinations will be split into "green light", "amber light" and "red light" zones. The categories will be afforded based on each country's vaccination progress and COVID-19 infection rates.
The "COVID-status certification" system, as the government calls it, is expected to involve vaccination, a recent negative test or natural COVID-19 immunity on the basis of a positive test taken in the span of six months.
