(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 15 - On Tuesday the obligation for people aged 50 or over to have the Super Green Pass kicks in, meaning they need the health certificate that shows a person is vaccinated for COVID-19 or has recovered from the coronavirus to access places of work.
    The government made the Super Green Pass obligatory for all over-50s as they are considered especially vulnerable if they contract the virus.
    It is still possible for unvaccinated people under 50 to access place of work by having the 'base' Green Pass, which can be obtained by having a negative COVID test although it is only valid for a few days.
    At the moment, the Super Green Pass is also needed to do almost all leisure, cultural and sporting activities in Italy. (ANSA).
