PM expected to announce wave of pilot events in April and May where proof of a jab will be required for entry
They include the FA Cup Final and semi-finals at Wembley, and the World Snooker Championship in Sheffield
Events also planned in Liverpool, including at a club that can hold 3,000 people, and a comedy gig
But they will only be used to examine other measures like tests before entering, and ventilation systems
