4 ‘reading

With the entry into force at Christmas of the new anti-Covid decree 221/2021 and with the decree approved on December 29 in the CDM, a further tightening on the rules and prohibitions is triggered. Always based on the double system provided for green certifications: the reinforced green pass reserved for vaccinated and cured people, as well as the basic green pass which is also obtained with a molecular buffer (which is valid for 72 hours) or antigenic (valid for 48 hours). Here are the main deadlines.

1) Stop quarantine from 31 December for those who have the booster

From 31 December for those who have received the third dose (“Booster”) or has been vaccinated with two doses for less than 4 months (or has recovered from Covid for less than 4 months), and is asymptomatic, no longer has to go to precautionary quarantine in case of close contact with a positive person Covid. You can therefore leave the house but it is mandatory to wear the FFP2 type mask for at least 10 days from the last exposure to the case. There is also a five-day self-monitoring period during which a rapid or molecular antigen test must be performed at the first appearance of symptoms. If still symptomatic, the swab should be repeated on the fifth day following the date of the last close contact. The self-monitoring period ends on the fifth day without the obligation to swab if you remain asymptomatic.

2) From 10 January extended super green pass and booster after 4 months

Starting from 10 January, the obligation of the super green pass in the white and yellow zone is extended to all activities with the exclusion of work and lessons at the university, activities for which it is still possible to use the buffer .

The “reinforced” green certificate as well as to enter indoor restaurants and bars (including counter service), theaters, cinemas, concert halls , stadiums, parties (with the exception of those resulting from civil or religious ceremonies) and public ceremonies, as is the case today, it will be necessary until the end of the state of emergency (31 March) also to access museums, swimming pools and indoor wellness centers, gyms, spas and amusement parks, indoor cultural and recreational centers, game rooms, bingo halls and casinos.

Not only. With the further tightening decided on 29 December by the government, the super green pass will be mandatory from 10 January also on all means of transport, as well as for accessing hotels and accommodation facilities; holidays resulting from civil or religious ceremonies (such as baptisms or weddings); festivals and fairs; congresses; outdoor catering services; ski lifts; team sports pools also outdoors (such as five-a-side football); cultural, social and recreational centers for outdoor activities.
