On Aug. 6 Italy institutes the "green pass" for COVID immunity. The pass is mandatory for eating or drinking indoors, taking the train, going to pools or gyms, attending outdoor games, or attending fairs, conventions + competitions. corriere.it/economia/consu…
People going inside these spaces/events without one face a fine of up to 1000 euro, and owners/organizers do as well. The pass's validity expires 48 hours after getting a negative COVID test, 15 days after getting a first dose (it extends to 270 days after getting a second),
and if you have a 1-dose vaccine, it lasts for 9 months. The pass is revoked if you subsequently test positive for COVID. In short, your world will become pretty small and annoying if you choose not to get vaccinated.
Businesses who get caught allowing people without a pass 3 times over 3 separate days can be forced to shut down for up to 10 days.
France is doing something similar, resulting in a huge surge of vaccinations. nytimes.com/2021/07/23/wor…
COVID tests - the ones you'll have to get every 48 hours if you don't want to be vaccinated - will no longer be free in France either. nytimes.com/2021/07/19/wor…
