Rapid testing, as well as mass vaccination, could be central to reopening sporting and entertainment venues in England, the vaccines minister, Nadhim Zahawi, has said, adding that preliminary evidence on the effect of vaccines on coronavirus transmission was encouraging.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, Zahawi said: “It’s a combination of rapid testing as well as the mass vaccination programme that will get our economy back on its feet and venues open again.”
Many venues, such as nightclubs, have been unable to reopen since the country first went into lockdown in March last year, while theatres reopened last summer with significantly reduced capacities.
