Super Green Pass
Until 31st January, to enter bars and consume at the counter it will be necessary to show the Super Green Pass. That is the version only for those vaccinated against Covid or who have recovered from the infection. The same measure is for eating inside restaurants.
The Super Green Pass is obligatory to enter into museums, theme parks, bingo halls, play and gambling rooms, but also in museums, places of culture and exhibitions, swimming baths, gyms, team sports, spa centres, changing rooms, cultural centres, social and recreation centres.
