(Bloomberg) -- Thousands of anti-vaccine protesters demonstrated in front of Lithuanian parliament on Tuesday, demanding the government scraps plans to require proof of inoculation against Covid-19.

Some of them then blocked the building and a parking lot, preventing some lawmakers from leaving in their cars, LRT public broadcaster reported.

Lithuania plans to impose a vaccine passport for people to access places such as restaurants, beauty parlors and public transport from mid-September. The government and the parliament already demand all their employees provide a vaccination certificate or a negative Covid-19 test.
