eople who do not have a coronavirus vaccination could be severely restricted when it comess to accessing sports venues, bars and restaurants, a minister has suggested.

Health minister Nadhim Zahawi, who is responsible for the roll-out of Covid-19 vaccines in the UK, said jabs will not be compulsory.

But he told BBC Radio 4’s the World At One that service providers will likely want people to prove that they have been vaccinated.

When asked if that meant people who did not have a vaccination would be severely restricted in what they could do, Mr Zahawi said: “I think people have to make a decision.

“But, I think you’ll probably find many service providers will want to engage with this in the way they did with the app.”
