Many in the U.K. nightlife sector fear the new mandate will result in the permanent closure of additional venues across the country.
Proof of vaccine status via an NHS Covid Pass is also needed for unseated outdoor venues with more than 4,000 people and any venue with more than 10,000 people. Similar Covid passport schemes are already in place in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.
Almost 100 Conservative MPs rebelled against their own party and voted in opposition to vaccine passes. The government originally announced it would be making vaccine passports a legal entry requirement for English venues and nightclubs in July, but then scrapped the plans several months later because of high vaccination levels and new coronavirus treatments.
The introduction of vaccine passports for nightclubs and music venues has been fiercely opposed by the live music and entertainment sector due to the logistical challenges they pose for businesses and the negative impact they have on footfall. According to the Night Time Industries Association , trade in Scottish venues and clubs fell by 30% following their implementation on Oct. 1. In Wales, business was down 26%, the organization says.

Air Force discharges 27 for refusal to get COVID vaccineThe Air Force has discharged 27 people for refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine, making them what officials believe are the first service members to be removed for disobeying the mandate to get the shots. The Air Force gave its forces until Nov. 2 to get the vaccine, and thousands have either refused or sought an exemption. Air Force spokeswoman Ann Stefanek said Monday that these are the first airmen to be administratively discharged for reasons involving the vaccine. The Pentagon earlier this year required the vaccine for all members of the military, including active duty, National Guard and the Reserves.
