Covid in Scotland: Hundreds refused entry in vaccine passport ‘chaos’

The first weekend of enforcement of Scotland’s vaccine passport scheme was an “unmitigated disaster”, according to a body representing night-time venues.

Venue staff refused entry to revellers without vaccine passports more than 550 times, and some staff were abused, the Scottish Hospitality Group said.

It said some venues decided to close early and footfall was down by up to 40%.
