Italy   approved new rules and is increasing  COVID-restrictions  trying  to grapple with a new wave of the pandemic.

Italy tightened the screws on people unwilling to take an anti-COVID vaccine, sharply restricting access to an array of services and making vaccines mandatory for a wider group of public sector workers.

From 6 December, 2021  unvaccinated people will not be able to enter venues such as cinemas, restaurants and sports events, Prime Minister Mario Draghi’s government said in a statement.

The  Italian government extended mandatory vaccination, already in force for healthcare workers, to all school staff, police and the military, beginning from Dec. 15.

The  new rules tighten the requirements for a Green Pass, a Certificate that allowed the vaccinated access to various leisure activities and services, to exclude people who have received a negative test in the past 48 hours but have not had a Covid-19 shot.

The Green Pass  is mandatory for use on urban public transport. For access to public transport the Green Pass will be available to those with a negative test, not just the vaccinated. The duration of the Green Pass will be cut from one year to nine months.
