There are no current plans to do so. Individuals can currently obtain an NHS COVID Pass, which can be used to access domestic venues, if they have:

- Received a full course of vaccination;

- Received a positive result on a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test, lasting for 180 days after the date of the positive test and following completion of the self-isolation period;

- Received a negative result for a PCR or lateral flow test, lasting for 48 hours after the time of the negative test;

- Participated in a United Kingdom clinical trial; or

- Received a clinically authorised medical exemption.
