Italy made the so-called “Green Pass” mandatory for an array of leisure activities on Friday, including for visiting museums, which means tourists visiting the country's most famous landmark – the Colosseum – had to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination, a negative coronavirus test or that they've recently recovered from the illness in order to enter.

There were long queues twisting all around the Colosseum as tourists waited to enter on a hot summer's day in Rome. There are two checkpoints for the Green Pass – one at the gates and then one at the actual entrance of the ancient amphitheatre.

As well as museums, a digital or paper certificate Green Pass is also required for gyms, cinemas, sports stadiums and for dining indoors at restaurants.

The Green Pass is a digital or paper certificate that shows if someone has received at least one inoculation, has tested negative or has recently recovered from COVID-19.

The government also announced on Thursday that they will widen the Green Pass requirement to all teachers, university students and long-distance transport from Sept. 1.

Italy is following in the footsteps of France, which was the first European country to say it was making proof of immunity mandatory to access a range of services and venues.
