Public Health message: Guidance for large venues
Businesses have been given additional advice and guidance and are now required to use COVID-19 status checks as a condition of entry. If your venue is a nightclub, discotheque, dance hall, or run large indoor events you must:
• Check the NHS COVID pass of all customers entering your venue (or check an alternative approved proof of vaccination)
• Prepare a written statement setting out how your venue will do this, and how it will be implemented
• Keep written records of the checks you make
Carry out mandatory Covid-19 status checks.
