The Minister for the Cabinet Office has slammed people who refuse to have the Covid vaccine.
Michael Gove has said that those who refuse on getting jabbed in England should be refused entry to events.
His statements come after the Government already said that vaccine passports will be needed for entry to nightclubs in England from September, Bristol Live reports.
But Mr Gove said they are considering applying the same rules to large events such as football matches, reports MSN news.
“Ultimately, if you can be vaccinated and you refuse to, that is a selfish act. You’re putting other people’s health and lives at risk, you should get vaccinated,” he said.
“If you deliberately refuse to get vaccinated and there are certain venues and certain events that require a certain level of safety, then, you know, the terms in which you will be able to get into those venues and those events will be barred to you.”
Mr Gove is trying to get a consistent Covid-19 certification across the UK.
“I think that the more we collaborate on this, the better,” he said.
“The Scottish Government will decide for itself what form of Covid status certification they believe is right.
“We’ve worked well with the Scottish Government so far, but I think that people would expect there to be, in the same way we’ve got the same access to NHS services across the United Kingdom, the same access to certification, that would be the ideal, but it's for the Scottish Government to decide.”
