The obligation to have the Green Pass
to do many things in Italy will end on May 1, sources said after
cabinet approved a road map easing COVID restrictions from the
end of April.
Earlier on Thursday the government's 'control room' task force
met to discuss the steps of the phasing out the nation's
COVID-19 restrictions with the coronavirus state of emergency
ending on March 31.
The current regime under which people must wear facemasks in
enclosed public spaces, including schools, will remain in force
until April 30, the sources said.
The obligation to wear facemasks on public transport will
continue until the end of April too, therefore, although it will
no longer be necessary to show a Green Pass to get on from April
1, according to the sources.
At the moment the Super Green Pass, which shows a person is
vaccinated for the coronavirus or has recovered from it, is
needed to do almost all social, leisure, cultural or sporting
activities in Italy and over-50s also need it to access places
of work.
Over-50s will be able to access places of work with a base Green
Pass, which can be obtained by having a negative test although
it only lasts a few days in this way, like younger people during
the month of April.
The government has also decided that all COVID-linked capacity
limits at places such as soccer stadiums and night clubs will
end on April 1, the sources said.
