Prime Minister Mario Draghi’s government has approved new curbs targeting mainly unvaccinated people in a bid to shield Italy from a surge of coronavirus cases elsewhere in Europe.

Only those with proof of inoculation, a certificate known as the “super green pass,” will be permitted to access venues such as restaurants, cinemas and theaters. The unvaccinated will still be allowed to enter their workplace after testing negative for the virus.
