Trusting Covid certs

Sir, – I was recently at a family Christening with a total of about 50 people including a number of elderly people and people with underlying health conditions in attendance.

I observed two people that I know queuing at the entrance to show their Covid certificates; my understanding was that the people in question were not vaccinated and should not have been there, but they produced a Covid pass on their phones. On making an inquiry into it I found that indeed they were not vaccinated and that they both scanned certs from people they knew.

So without showing ID with your Covid cert it appears to me it’s a waste of time. How many people nationwide are doing the same?

- Yours, etc,
