A mandatory Covid vaccination certificate will be introduced from 6 August in Italy.

Those aged 12 and over who have received at least one jab, will be allowed to access a range of venues including cinemas and gyms, with the certificate.

The pass will not be needed for transport after much disagreements within the governing coalition. 

Driven by the delta variant, Italy is facing another surge as the number of new cases doubled over the past week with more than 5,000 infections (22nd July).

According to BBC’s Mark Lowen, about half of the Italian population are now fully vaccinated, but the summer holiday season is dissuading some to turn up for their appointments. 

Italy has confirmed more than 4.3 million infections since the start of the outbreak with 128,000 Covid-related deaths.
