The government is “considering” measures including requiring vaccine passports for indoor venues such as pubs and restaurants, Deputy First Minister John Swinney told MSPs in a Covid-19 update on Tuesday.
But the Scottish Chambers of Commerce said this would be a “massive step backwards” and would have “damaging implications” for businesses.
The Scottish Hospitality Group said the announcement before any consultation with businesses and the hospitality industry showed a lack of planning, and would lead to uncertainty and panic.
Both groups demanded evidence from the Scottish Government supporting the benefit of these potential measures.
