Italy’s workers aged 50 or over are obliged to have a “Super” Green Pass to enter their workplace from 15 February, under the government’s compulsory vaccination order.
The controversial vaccine mandate applies to all over-50s resident in Italy, including foreign nationals, freelance workers and the unemployed, and will be in place until at least 15 June.
Workers who fail to present a Super Green Pass will be suspended and have their salary frozen.
The Super Green Pass is a “reinforced” version of the “basic” Green Pass and can only be obtained by those who have been vaccinated or recovered from covid-19.
It is required to enter restaurants, bars, cinemas, theaters, concerts, night clubs, sports stadiums and public transport.
