Masks obligation ends on 30 September and an extension of the rule is seen as unlikely.
Italy’s obligation to put on masks on board public transport expires on Friday 30 September and – barring a last-minute transfer – will not be anticipated to be prolonged.
It’s thought of unlikely that the outgoing authorities of Mario Draghi will lengthen the mask-wearing obligation throughout its closing days in workplace, leaving covid-related choices to the brand new administration after the overall election on Sunday.
The dropping of the masks requirement for commuters on buses, trains, subways, trams and ferries (however not planes), would depart solely a handful of covid restrictions remaining in place.
Italy’s well being undersecretary Andrea Costa stated not too long ago that he was in favour of dropping masks on public transport.
Over the course of per week in early September police in Italy handed out a complete of €81,000 in fines to commuters caught with out masks on public transport, as a part of a nationwide blitz.
Regardless of the rules in place, it’s more and more frequent in Rome to see commuters – each Italian residents and vacationers – with out masks on the metro and buses.
