The Camera has not yet addressed whether attendees will have to show the “Green Pass” that has been approved by Italy’s government, which is dealing with rising cases of the Delta variant as are other European countries.
This allows citizens to enter schools, bars, restaurants, cinemas, and other indoor venues because it certifies they have been vaccinated, have resulted negative to a test or recovered from COVID-19 in the previous six months.- wwd
