This Government guidance will come into effect when England moves to step 4 of the roadmap.

"Key protections" the Government said it will keep in place includes:

• Government expects and recommends that people wear face coverings in crowded areas such as public transport;
• being outside or letting fresh air in
• minimising the number, proximity and duration of social contacts.
• encouraging and supporting businesses and large events to use the NHS COVID Pass in high risk settings.

The guidance states that "The Government will work with organisations where people are likely to be in close proximity to others outside their household to encourage the use of this. If sufficient measures are not taken to limit infection, the Government will consider mandating certification in certain venues at a later date."
