Spokesperson Henk van Klaveren told the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Coronavirus (APPG) on Tuesday (4 May) that there was strong support for a four nations approach to the restart, and that it was vital the government worked towards implementing a single portal or app to allow UK citizens to verify their Covid status.


Transport secretary Grant Shapps last week revealed the government was working on using the existing NHS app to allow people to do this, effectively allowing the app to serve as a travel pass of sorts.
