Students return to school as Italy eases COVID-19 restrictions, in Rome

ROME (Reuters) – Italy’s government is committed to beginning the new school year in September with face-to-face teaching, Prime Minister Mario Draghi told journalists during a briefing on Friday.

On Thursday the government ruled that teachers must have proof of immunity from COVID-19 before entering the classroom, and also made the so-called Green Pass mandatory for travellers on trains, planes, ships and inter-city coaches.
