Italy has become the first European country to make a Covid certificate mandatory for all workers.
According to data from the European Centre for Disease and Control, 73.8% of Italians are fully vaccinated against the virus. But authorities want to avoid another surge in cases.A "No Green Pass" protest on Sept. 11, 2021 in Turin, Italy.LONDON — Italy has become the first European country to make acertificate mandatory for all workers, as countries start to take stronger measures in an effort to boost inoculation rates.
From mid-October, any Italian worker that fails to present a valid certificate will face suspension and could have their pay stopped after five days, the government said on Thursday. The document, which can be digital or paper, outlines whether a person has been vaccinated, recovered recently from the virus, or tested negative for Covid. It was originally created at the EU level to support intra-European travel, but Italy was among the first countries to also use it as a requirement to enter venues such as museums and gyms.
