Covid passes will need to be shown to gain entrance to certain venues, including nightclubs, from next week, Boris Johnson has announced.
The prime minister announced a raft of new measures from the government's 'Plan B', which will be used to try to slow the spread of the new Omicron variant of coronavirus.
From next week, venues will only allow entrance to people who can show an NHS Covid Pass, which proves someone has been vaccinated, has taken a lateral flow test and produced a negative result or has recently recovered from coronavirus.
Other measures announced by the prime minister tonight include asking people to work from home where possible and making face coverings compulsory in further public settings.
