The Dutch parliament is debating a government proposal to scrap the “corona pass” for people not vaccinated against Covid-19, with proponents citing record-high infection rates and opponents saying the move would be discriminatory, reports Reuters.

The pass, which grants access to indoor public venues, is now available to people who have been vaccinated, have recovered from Covid-19 or have tested negative for the virus. Under the current government proposal, the last option would be dropped.
