Fans attending Premier League football matches may need a Covid Passport to gain entry to stadiums from the first round of matches in mid-August. Previously, the Cabinet Secretary, Michael Gove, told MPs that if implemented, Covid passports could be used for capacities at football stadiums above 20,000. This would include all Premier League grounds and a significant number in the EFL. The PM said venues with large crowds would be urged to adopt Covid certification 'as a matter of social responsibility'. Covid Passports are currently being tested as part of Phase Three of the Government’s Events Research Programme.
