Tourists arriving in Italy tomorrow, October 15, or who are currently traveling in Italy, should be aware that there are likely to be some civil disturbances of unknown proportions, especially in Rome, Milan, and major port cities such as Trieste and Genoa. The areas in Rome near Piazza Montecitorio (Italian Chamber of Deputies), Palazzo Chigi (Prime Minister's Office) and Palazzo Madama (Italian Senate) may be sites where demonstrators congregate to express their opposition to the new Italian Green Pass requirements in all working environments (public and private).
Similar demonstrations broke out last Saturday, and those in Rome became violent, with numerous injuries.
Transport workers in Trieste and other Italian port cities who oppose the green pass requirements have announced their intention to shut down the ports and stop all deliveries of merchandise, including food deliveries to grocery stores.
Tourists who happen to be in the vicinity of the aforementioned locations should be aware of what is happening, and may want to exercise some extra caution, especially this weekend.
One consequence of the new mandatory green pass laws (for Italian workers) is that THE NUMBER OF COVID TEST RESERVATIONS at Italian pharmacies IS INCREASING GEOMETRICALLY, and pharmacies are reporting huge increases in workload. This means that TOURISTS SHOULD BOOK THEIR COVID TESTS WELL IN ADVANCE when necessary to return to their home countries (such as the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom). Don't wait until the last moment, as it will become more difficult to find a pharmacy offering Covid tests on short notice. Pharmacies in Genoa report Covid test bookings well into December.
