Firms start work on 'freedom passports'

Work is being carried out to develop coronavirus freedom 'passports' that will allow those who have tested negative to enter pubs, schools and workplaces.

Two firms have been awarded Government contracts for exploratory work on a new app that would allow people to prove they do not have Covid.

'There are no plans to introduce immunity passports.

Ministers have previously ruled out introducing passports for those who have had a vaccine.

The proposal for the 'negative Covid-19 test certification' system was revealed on the Government's contracts checker.

The contracts seen by the Mail refer only to Covid test passports.

A spokesman added: 'We have no plans to introduce immunity passports following this vaccination programme.
