Friuli Venezia Giulia is the first Italian region to become the so-called “yellow zone” this Monday, 29 November, with fewer restrictions for the vaccinated.
Italy is to tighten its system of restrictions linked to the Green Pass with tough new rules applying to those who are not vaccinated coming into force from 29 November in Friuli Venezia Giulia, a week before the rest of Italy, until 15 January, with the option of being extended.
The new decree sees the introduction of a so-called Super Green Pass, a “reinforced” version of the certificate that proves the holder has been vaccinated against covid, recovered from the virus within the last six months or tested negative in the last couple of days.
However when the Super Green Pass comes into effect next month, it will only apply to those who have been vaccinated or recovered from covid-19.
This means that those who have chosen not to get vaccinated will no longer be able to access indoor restaurants or bars, cinemas or theatres, gyms or sporting stadiums.
In addition, the “basic” green pass will be mandatory for hotels, changing rooms for sporting activities, regional rail transport and local public transport starting 6 December.
The only aspect that will not change in relation to the Green Pass is that unvaccinated workers may still access their workplace using the current system of getting tested every couple of days.
Everyone is required to wear masks in crowded outdoor places from Monday, 29 November, across FVG regardless of vaccination status.
You will need to show proof of vaccination or recovery from covid-19 (within the last 6 months) before the introduction of the so-called Super Green Pass on 6 December.
