Italy's government is considering new measures to avoid a surge in Covid-19 infections during the holiday period, Reuters quotes local newspapers as reporting, amid worries over the spread of the highly contagious Omicron coronavirus variant.
After holding a meeting with ministers on Dec 23, Prime Minister Mario Draghi could impose an obligation on the vaccinated to show a negative test to access crowded places, including discos and stadiums, daily Corriere della Sera reported.
Negative tests could also be required to enter cinemas and theatres, along with wearing masks outdoors.
