Italian government has announced tougher restrictions for unvaccinated people amid concern over the Omicron variant.
A statement issued by the government revealed that many public activities will be off limits to anyone without a so-called COVID Super Green Pass.
The statement noted that the green pass will be needed to enter theatres, cinemas, music venues, sports events, restaurants and bars until mid-January, adding that the green pass will also be required to use public transport, as well as to access places of work.
Italy is grappling with a spike in coronavirus infections, which have been rising gradually since mid-October.
