Considered to be some of the strictest anti-covid regulations worldwide, from 15 October, approximately 23 million private and public sector workers across Italy will be barred from their places of work, without pay, unless they can produce a clean covid passport.
The so-called green pass, called certificazione verde in Italy, is an extension of the EU’s digital covid certificate confirming an individual has received two doses of a covid-19 vaccine, has recovered from coronavirus, or tested negative for infection in the previous 48 hours.
