From Friday (October 15, 2021), all working people in Italy are only allowed to work with a Corona passport.
There are riots and protests in Rome.
Rome - In Italy, thousands of people took to the streets to demonstrate against a Corona * passport at work.
The 3G rule is mandatory for all working people from Friday (October 15, 2021).
In both the private and public sectors, evidence of vaccination, negative test or recovery must then be presented.
According to faz.net, this regulation could also be extended to the home office.
As the German Press Agency (dpa) reports, such a so-called “Green Pass” or “Green Pass” should now further improve the Covid situation in Italy.
According to data from Johns Hopkins University, the 7-day incidence there is currently 29.0 nationwide (as of October 14, 2021).
In Germany, the corona incidence has increased slightly again *.

Corona passport in Italy: In the future, working people will have to provide evidence of 3G
Working people will only be allowed to enter their workplaces, for example offices, shops, restaurants or factories, if they have a 3G certificate. Now a green pass could soon be required even for working in the home office. The new regulation currently affects a total of around 23 million Italians. "For companies and employees, the Green Pass increases safety in the workplace and guarantees production," explained Maurizio Stirpe, Vice President of the employers' organization Confindustria.
In schools, as well as in the health and medical services, there was already an obligation to provide proof of the Corona passport.
Now the government would like to extend this obligation to the entire world of work.
Those who cannot prove that they have been vaccinated, recovered or tested are not allowed to work and no longer receive a salary for their absence.
Italy: Corona passport mandatory at work - thousands demonstrate
However, many people do not want to have the obligation to provide proof of work prescribed.
Thousands of people demonstrated against the Green Pass in Rome last Saturday (October 9th, 2021).
There were isolated riots, clashes with the police and injuries.
Another large demonstration is planned in the Italian capital and other cities on this Friday, on which the law should finally come into force.
Among other things, according to the dpa, workers in northern Italy had announced that they would block the important Adriatic port in Trieste.

There is also a risk of chaos in freight transport, as many long-distance drivers from Eastern Europe do not have a Covid certificate. But in Italy they want to remain steadfast in this regard. “The government must not allow itself to be blackmailed,” demanded Stirpe. Right-wing politicians in particular criticize the 3G rule at work and abuse Prime Minister Mario Draghi. As is now the case in Germany, corona tests are no longer free in Italy. Unvaccinated adults would therefore have to regularly pay 15 euros in order to be able to work.
With the introduction of the Green Pass, Draghi wanted to encourage the population to vaccinate.
Around 69.49 percent of residents are already fully vaccinated, 85 percent of those over the age of twelve have been vaccinated at least once (as of October 14, 2021).
