Professor John Ashton, formerly regional director of public health for the North West of England, said it “may come to that” in the UK, when asked about restrictions in Austria and Germany.
Asked what he thought of such measures on Good Morning Britain, the former president of the UK Faculty of Public Health said: “I fear that it might come to that.
“We all need to be playing our part, and at the moment, it’s as though the thing is over.
We really need to get back to wearing our masks, social distancing and yes, passports.
“This is not about civil rights, it’s about winning the battle with this virus and not throwing in the towel, which is what seems to be being advocated by the business community.”
When asked what he thought of Germany using restrictions on the unvaccinated, Prof Ashton said: “I think it may well come to that.”
Ashton is known for his support of hard left factions within the Labour Party and demanding far more draconian restrictions from the Government.
