Libertarian Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I am completely confused after Sturgeons announcement today regarding the grace period for businesses regarding the implementation of Covid passports. Does this mean we don't have to bring our Covid documents to the game on Saturday? This is turning into a complete shambles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but if you read the annoucement it clearly states all that has happened is a delay in a company being taken to task or rules being enforced upon them not a delay in using the certificates so get yours now It means there will be no enforcement action against businesses who do not comply with the rules before that date. Ms Sturgeon said the delay would allow businesses to "test, adapt and build confidence in the practical arrangements they will need to put in place to be compliant with the scheme". 'while organisers of larger events such as major football matches will be allowed to do spot checks of a "reasonable" number of customers.'

AlphonseCapone Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 The announcement isn't confusing and the rationale behind is perfectly sensible. I think the way the some of the media have portrayed is causing confusion. Nothing has changed for individuals. Organisations simply have 2 weeks to get their processes working correctly, at which point they'll have zero excuses for not following the law and will be held responsible.

Heartsofgold Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I don't know if this has already been posted but please be aware. The COVID passport scheme goes live on Friday the 1st October. The 2 week grace period is for enforcement action being taken on venues that do not implement it going forward. Therefore, you 100% WILL need to show your vaccine status if requested on Saturday at Tynecastle. If you are not fully vaccinated and do not meet any of the exemption criteria, you will be denied entry. It's that simple. Not sure I agree with it as we have already had several home games with crowd in the stands and the lack of face masks after the game on Saturday was stark.
