Italy: School and security workers will have mandatory vaccinations

Rome's government wants to convince the 6 million Italians who still say "no" to the covid-19 vaccine to receive the immunizing agent. Anyone who works in schools and security forces and does not present a vaccination certificate will be without salary.

At this moment, Italians already use the vaccination certificate to ride public transport, enter hotels and visit most establishments.

The new rules aim to avoid a negative evolution of the pandemic and, at the same time, not to compromise the Christmas season.

As of today, Italy will again demand a negative covid-19 test for all people from European Union countries. The unvaccinated ones still have to undergo a quarantine of five days.
