Due to the rising number of cases of the Omicron variant, the PM has executed a 'plan B' of restrictions that includes new rules on gaining access to nightclubs and other large venues where large crowds gather.

As of from Wednesday, December 15, the NHS Covid pass will be required to gain entry to such events, including to sporting events with crowds of 10,000 or more.
