In view of the increasing number of infections, the government in Rome wants to adopt the “green passport” for domestic travel and events by midweek.

According to this, travelers should only be able to use planes, trains and intercity buses if they can prove complete immunization with two doses of vaccine, recovery from a Covid 19 disease or a negative test result from the past 48 hours using a QR code on their mobile phone.

Even at cultural and sporting events as well as at private celebrations after religious or civil ceremonies, the organizers must check the “green pass” of all visitors or participants. Anyone who gains entry without a “green pass” or forges it can be fined up to 400 euros. Anyone who does not comply with their control obligation must expect the facility to be closed for five days.

Football clubs and concert organizers want to ensure that an occupancy rate of up to 100 percent is allowed, provided that all spectators and visitors can show the “green pass”.

It is still open whether Italy will introduce a five-day quarantine for travelers returning from the risk countries Spain and Portugal.

It is highly controversial within the government coalition of Prime Minister Mario Draghi whether the restaurateurs should be forced to check the “green passport” when visiting the interior of restaurants.
