Italy’s “COVID Green Pass” explained
Italy is to make it compulsory for all workers in the nation to have a Covid “green pass” – so what is it and how will work?
Italy is set to make it compulsory for all workers within the nation to carry a COVID Green Pass – a document displaying proof of vaccination, negative test or recovery from the virus.
Green Passes have already been rolled out across Italy, but for different sectors. Currently, they are already required to access train stations within Italy as well as entertainment venues such as cinemas along with recreational activities including swimming pools and gyms.
The pass is also required in order to access a cafe or restaurant.
Educational staff including teachers are already required to show a Green Pass – some have been blocked from working due to failure to display one
The mandate across the Italian workforce is the first of its kind to be rolled out in Europe and one of the strictest, too.
The document will state proof of vaccination, a negative test or recovery from the virus.
Anyone without a pass will reportedly face suspension from work and may have their pay stopped after five days.
The Italian Government recently approved a law to extend the requirements to all workplaces and employees across all workforces – including those that are self-employed.
Organisations as well as employees face penalties if found to be working without holding a Green Pass.
Almost 65% of Italians have now been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 however in recent months, infections have again started to rise to the contagious Delta variant of the virus.
Since the pandemic begun, Italy has recorded more than 4.6 million cases of COVID to date and over 130,000 COVID-related deaths.

Zelenskiy blames Moscow for stalling Geneva peace talks; negotiations to resume amid unresolved eastern territory and nuclear power plant disputes.
Two days of high-stakes negotiations in Geneva have ended without a breakthrough, as Ukraine and Russia failed to reach an agreement on key issues in the ongoing war. Despite international pressure, both sides walked away without a deal.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy accused Moscow of deliberately stalling United States-mediated peace efforts, while Russia signalled it would not accept terms it sees as unfavourable. The White House says further talks are expected.
Major sticking points remain over territory in eastern Ukraine and control of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, with both sides rejecting proposals that would involve significant territorial concessions.

Iran strengthens military and nuclear sites amid US carrier presence, escalating fears of confrontation and internal dissent pressure.
Iran is ramping up military readiness as tensions with the United States intensify, with Tehran fortifying key nuclear sites and reviewing defence strategies amid the deployment of U.S. aircraft carriers in the region. Leaders in the Islamic Republic say they are prepared to respond to any imposed conflict, signalling a high-stakes standoff that could reshape regional security dynamics.
At the same time, the regime faces mounting domestic discontent, with security forces cracking down on dissent and carrying out widespread arrests following recent protests. While Iran insists it has made concessions toward a nuclear deal, Washington says key demands remain unmet, leaving negotiations in limbo and the country’s political future under strain.
