The CTS panel of experts advising the
government on the battle against COVID-19 has given the
all-clear to increasing the number of people that can watch
cultural and sporting events live.
Stadiums will be able to sell tickets up to 75% of their full
capacity, compared to 50% at the moment, while cinemas and
theatres will be allowed to go up to 80%.
There will be no capacity restrictions for museums although they
will be obliged to make sure social distancing is respected.
Everyone taking part in such events is obliged to have the Green
Pass vaccine passport.
League leader Matteo Salvini argued the move does not go far
enough, saying "our request is to reopen everything for
everyone".
Sports Undersecretary Valentina Vezzali, the multiple gold medal
former fencer, said the government was working towards having
100% in-person crowds at sports events as soon as possible.
