The entire workforce is required by law to show proof of vaccination or a negative test from Friday.

“Italy is introducing the strictest rules in Europe from Friday in an attempt to nudge the vaccine-hesitant into getting the shot and prevent further lockdowns this winter, which could stymie Prime Minister Mario Draghi’s plans for a full economic revival after seeing 6 percent growth this year.

By law, all workers must be able to show a so-called Green Pass, proving they are vaccinated against COVID-19 or have tested negative in the past 48 hours. Roughly 81 percent of Italians over 12 are fully vaccinated.

With a combination of absentees, strikes and protests planned to block motorways and shut down ports, unions are warning of shortages of raw materials, fuel and food, and likely disruption to essential public services such as garbage collection.”
