Green pass Italy

From October 15, 2021, a new provision will be implemented in Italy. Transport companies will need to have a EU Digital COVID Certificate verification system in place for employees  (Green Certificate Covid-19) and be able to present it to gain access to workplaces.

This applies to anyone who works in the private sector.

A valid EU Digital COVID Certificate (with a QR code) is issued following full vaccination (issued in the country of origin), negative swab from a rapid test or molecular test or following recovery from COVID-19 (issued by the country of origin). Each EU Digital COVID Certificate has its own time validity. The EU Digital COVID Certificate issued following a rapid swab test are valid for 48 hours from the time they are taken. Those issued following a molecular test are valid for 72 hours from the time they are taken.

For those who are not vaccinated, a list of pharmacies is available available for the execution of the rapid swab test (valid for 48 hours), allowing the holder to obtain an EU Digital COVID Certificate.

Further information about the corona pass, conditions and test locations in Italy can also be found on the TLN website under Italy.
