(breitbart) – Italians over the age of 50 who are unvaccinated could face fines and suspension from work as the country’s vaccine mandate come into force on the first of February,
Unvaccinated Italians over the age of 50, around 1.8 million people,
face one-off fines of 100 euros (£83/$111) for being caught not having
taken a coronavirus jab.
After February 15th, the fines will increase to between 600
(£499/$668) and 1,500 euros (£1,248/$1,671) for those who go to work
without the “super Green Pass” health passport, which is only eligible
to fully vaccinated people or those who have recovered from the Chinese
coronavirus.
Around a million workers over the age of 50 also face being suspended
from work if they cannot prove they have been fully vaccinated.
Approximately 500,000 Italians aged 60 to 70 are said to not even have
taken a single dose of the Wuhan coronavirus vaccine, Italian newspaper Il Giornale reports.
Broken down geographically, the regions with the most unvaccinated
people over the age of 50 are in regions such as Sicily, Valle
d’Aosta, Friuli Venezia-Giulia, and Sardinia, with unvaccinated levels
ranging between eight and ten per cent.
When the mandate for vaccination was announced in early January, just
over 2 million Italians over 50 were unvaccinated. Since then, just
320,000 are said to have taken the vaccine. The trend is said to have
slowed in recent days, according to Il Giornale.
The new measures come as the Italian government has greatly increased
the scope of the country’s Wuhan virus health pass system in recent
weeks.
As of February 1st, Italians looking to access banks or post offices
will be required to present a Green Pass, which will mean that
pensioners looking to pick up their pensions in person will have to show the health pass in order to access their money.
The government has limited the number of shops considered essential
and thereby can be accessed without a Green Pass, to just nine types of
shops, such as supermarkets, petrol stations, pharmacies and select
others.
