Italy takes a big step back towards
normality on Sunday when most of the country's remaining
COVID-19 restrictions will be dropped.
As of May Day, it will no longer be necessary to have the 'base
Green Pass', which shows a person is vaccinated for COVID, has
recovered from it or tested negative in the last few days, to
eat and drink inside at bars and restaurants or to go health
centres, gyms, sporting events, night clubs and conferences.
It will no longer be mandatory to wear a facemask to enter
public offices, shops, banks, post offices, bars, restaurants
and most places of work, although it is still recommended.
But the obligation to wear facemasks remains for some enclosed
spaces, including local and long-distance public transport,
theatres and cinemas until June 15 and in schools until the end
of the academic year.
The Super Green Pass, which can only be obtained by people who
are vaccinated or have recovered from the virus and not via a
negative test, remains necessary to access hospitals and care
homes until the end of the year.
