Prime Minister Mario Draghi’s executive on Wednesday introduced a “Super Green Pass” system that will exclude people who are not vaccinated against COVID19 from many activities.


The measures were unanimously adopted by a council of ministers. Sources said after the meeting that the measures would last from December 6 to January 15, but could then be extended if necessary.

The ‘super green card’, issued only to those who have been vaccinated and those who have recovered from the coronavirus, will be required to participate in social, cultural and sporting activities even in low-COVID-risk white zones, although not to access work places.
