The Independent reports that the UK government is considering the introduction of \u201cCovid status certificates\u201d as part of plans for the phased reopening of society, the prime minister has announced. Boris Johnson&nbsp;said there will be a review into the policy, which was been previously dismissed by a number of senior ministers.

Mr Johnson told the House of Commons on Monday that a study into the use of vaccine and testing certificates will be one of four reviews conducted as part of easing the current restrictions. The findings of the vaccine passport probe are hoped to be available before stage four of the lockdown easing on 21 June is reached.
