Unvaccinated people will have their outdoor activities limited in Italy. They will no longer be able to go to the cinema, the theater, concerts or major sporting events, according to new restrictions that came into force on Monday, December 6.
The peninsula, like its European neighbors, is facing a rebound in Covid-19 contaminations and has adopted this new package of measures to try to stop it. The only exception to this rule: people recently cured of the coronavirus, who also have access to the “health super pass” granted to the vaccinated.
The basic health pass, accessible with a negative test, is however sufficient to go to his workplace. Jhitherto required for taking the plane or long-distance trains, it will now also be required for local transport (bus, metro and regional trains).
Checks began Monday morning at stations across the country and a record 1.3 million health passes were downloaded on Sunday for this turn of the screw.
Italy, the first European country to be hit hard by the pandemic in early 2020, has so far recorded more than 134,000 deaths. Even though contagions are on the rise, it is doing better than its neighbors, with between 15,000 and 20,000 new daily cases recorded in recent days.
Almost 85% of those over 12 are fully immunized, the campaign for the third dose is underway, and vaccines will soon be available for children aged 5 to 11.
