(Italy) Extends Green Pass to All Work Places

September 17, 2021- "Italy on Thursday approved a new law making its Covid-19 health certificate obligatory for all employees in both the public and private sectors..."

"The law, which will require all workers to show that they are vaccinated, recovered or have proof of a recent negative coronavirus test, will come into effect on October 15th. “We’re extending the ‘green pass’ obligation to the entire world of work, both public and private,” Health Minister Roberto Speranza told a press conference after the government took the decision on Thursday evening. “And we’re doing it for two basic reasons: to make these places safer and make our vaccination campaign stronger,” Speranza said.
The pass is a certificate that shows whether someone has been vaccinated against Covid-19, tested negative in the previous 48 hours, or recently recovered from the virus. It is currently mandatory for customers at leisure venues such as cinemas and sports stadiums, long-distance trains and buses or domestic flights. Just over 40 million people are fully vaccinated against the coronavirus inItaly, roughly equivalent to 75 percent of the population over the age of 12. The government aims to boost that figure to 80 percent by September 30th."

Take note...the country is saying that 75% are fully vaccinated. They are claiming that these extreme measures are for a 5% increase in vaccination rates.
