The Italian government approved on Thursday some of the strictest anti-COVID measures in the world, making it mandatory for all workers either to show proof of vaccination, a negative test, or recent recovery from infection. In a latest push to the ongoing vaccination campaign, Italy has accordingly made the Covid-19 green pass mandatory for all people in the job market, both private and public sectors.

The green pass certificate shows proof that a person has received at least one dose of the vaccine, or is fully inoculated, or has recovered from the infection, or has tested negative in the last 48 hours. Italy is the first country in the European Union (EU) to adopt such a stringent regulation.

After a meeting on Thursday, Prime Minister Mario Draghi's cabinet delivered the provision with a specific decree that will enter into force on October 15, to give firms and public offices time to adjust, as per reports.

The Green pass step was intended as a further incentive to those millions of Italians who have not yet agreed to, or are openly against the vaccine, which remains strongly recommended but not mandatory here. Out of the job market, the certificate was already required since midsummer to access public transports, including trains, planes, and ferries for long-distance travels, to sit in restaurants and bars indoor, and to access public places such as libraries or leisure facilities.
