Italy imposes new Covid-19 rules on unvaccinated citizens

People in Italy who have not been vaccinated against Covid-19 can no longer go to the theatre, cinemas, live music venues or major sporting events under new rules that came into force today. New measures are also being enforced on public transport, with a so-called Green Pass showing proof of vaccination, recent recovery or a negative Covid-19 test now required even on local services.

Rome at the weekend introduced new rules requiring face masks to be worn outdoors in the busiest shopping streets.
