Friuli Venezia Giulia region which includes Trieste has seen a surge in bookings for covid-19 vaccinations since Italian premier Mario Draghi unveiled the new Green Pass rules last week.
The Green Pass – which shows that people have been vaccinated, tested negative or recovered from covid-19 – will be required for indoor dining in restaurants and for access to cultural and sporting venues from 6 August.
Announcing the measures, the prime minister appealed to Italians to get vaccinated against covid, saying: “Without vaccination, everything must be closed again,” and: “An appeal not to be vaccinated is an appeal to die.”
The FVG’s president Massimiliano Fedriga said that the region has had more than 12,500 new bookings for vaccinations in FVG in the last two days, describing it as “an important boost.”
