Il 10 January 2022 is an important date according to the government decree published at the end of last December because it is the day on which theextension of the Reinforced Green Pass obligation in many sectors, practically almost in all social and recreational areas.
This way there is one even greater limitation to what the unvaccinated cannot do because this category of people can only be in possession of the basic Green Pass which allows access to a few activities.
From January 10th to March 31st the rules apply to white area, yellow ed Orange.
Let's remember what the Enhanced Green Pass is
Before listing what those in possession of the Enhanced Green Pass (or Super Green Pass) can do, let's remember what we are talking about. This is the certificate attesting to vaccination or recovery from Covid-19.
Then:
- they can only get it those who have been vaccinated with 2 or 3 doses, but also with 1, after 15 days from administration;
- whoever he is can get it recovered from Covid-19 for less than 6 months;
- it cannot be obtained with negative buffer (both rapid valid for 48 hours and molecular valid for 72 hours).
We specify that these are not two different documents, it is simply the Green Pass already in effect. Only that it is considered strengthened if one is vaccinated or cured of Covid. The one obtained after a tampon is to be considered Base.
Here are all the most important cases from which the unvaccinated are excluded, followed by a complete list of situations in which the Enhanced Green Pass is mandatory.
Local means of transport: bus and tram
The first big news on the extension of the Enhanced Green Pass concerns the obligation for use local and regional means of transport. It must be shown to get on any public or private transport, including bus, trolleybus, tram, subways, trains.
Practically, who is not vaccinated or recovered from Covid for less than 6 months can move only with your own means.
Transport to and from the smaller islands: the derogation
The only derogation it concerns the movements to and from the smaller islands, so you can use the Basic Green Pass, but only for reasons of necessity, health or study. This until 10 February.
Workplaces
Here the discussion is more complex because, in the decree which provides forvaccination obligation for those over 50, it is also foreseen that those over 50 workers must have the Super Green Pass to go to work. Then:
- in public and private workplaces there is a requirement for a Reinforced Green Pass if you are over 50;
- the Green Pass Base is enough for those under 50, so even if you are not vaccinated, but you have had a swab (negative, both molecular and rapid).
Restaurants, bars, hotels and accommodation facilities

Theaters, cinemas and museums

In reality, the obligation for cinemas and theaters was already valid, but from today it will be extended. Also applies to libraries and archives and for all cultural and recreational centers.
