Scotland planning vaccine passports for nightclubs, Sturgeon says

The Scottish Government plans to introduce Covid-19 vaccine passports for entry to nightclubs and large events, Nicola Sturgeon has announced.

Certification will be used for clubs as well as unseated indoor live events with more than 500 people in the audience.
