Not every Premier League and Championship football fan is expected to have their Covid vaccination and test status checked at matches, despite the Government’s introduction of Plan B next week.
The measures, designed to limit the spread of the new coronavirus variant, Omicron, include a requirement for sports fans to show proof of vaccination or a negative lateral flow test at stadiums with a capacity of more than 10,000 people from Wednesday.
But Sportsmail understands some matches are expected to have an option to spot check samples of supporters, where examining the credentials of every fan may pose additional risks.
