The Welsh Parliament approved the Labour government’s plan to introduce COVID passes by one vote after a Conservative member of Senedd (MS) missed the vote due to technical difficulties.

From Oct. 11, all adults will be required to have an NHS COVID Pass to enter nightclubs; indoor, non-seated events for more than 500 people; outdoor non-seated events for more than 4,000 people; and any setting or event with more than 10,000 people in attendance.
