Covid-19: Vaccine passports should already be in place, says Naomi Long

Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) MP Sammy Wilson has said he hopes his party will try to stop the introduction of mandatory Covid-19 vaccine certificates in Northern Ireland. He described it as a 'bad policy' and said it would be an infringement on people's freedoms. The Stormont executive will discuss the proposal by Health Minister Robin Swann's at a meeting on Wednesday. Three other ministers have already declared their support for the plan. Any ministers opposing to the idea 'need to set out very clearly what their alternative is', said Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon, the SDLP deputy leader.
