Italy just became the first European country to require all citizens that have a job to have a ‘health pass’ (vaccine passport/vaccine certificate.) The country will require all employees to carry a COVID certificate which will disclose their vaccination status.
Starting in October, any Italian worker that fails to present a valid certificate will face suspension and could have their pay stopped.
The document will be digital or a paper version, and it will also include whether or not a person has recovered from the virus, or tested negative for COVID. It was originally created at the EU level to support intra-European travel, but Italy was among the first countries to also use it as a requirement to enter various venues such as museums, restaurants and gyms.
