At the moment in Italy there are only white and yellow areas and the green pass is not always required to play sports. Let’s see case by case
While the number of infections continues to rise at the moment in Italy the situation is very different from a year ago, in fact, there are neither orange nor red areas, but only white and yellow. This means that in most regions you can still be outdoors without a mask, unless otherwise indicated by local administrators. In fact, for example, in the historic centers, many mayors have given the order to continue wearing the mask even outside.
In the white area there are: Abruzzo, Basilicata, Campania, Emilia Romagna, Lazio, Lombardy, Molise, Piedmont, Puglia, Sardinia, Sicily, Tuscany, Umbria, Valle d’Aosta. In yellow zone, on the other hand, we find Calabria, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Liguria, Marche, Veneto and the autonomous provinces of Trento and Bolzano.
The other substantial difference that you need to know to understand how to move these days (until January 15), is that relating to the green pass. In fact now there is distinction between the basic green pass and the reinforced green pass, also called the super green pass. The basic green pass it is what is released to those who are not vaccinated or have had Covid, but have undergone a swab and have obtained negative results. The basic green pass lasts:
- 72 hours if the negative result was obtained with molecular buffer;
- 48 hours if negative was obtained with rapid swab.
The reinforced green pass, on the other hand, it is what the vaccinated are in possession of (at least two doses) and lasts for nine months.
It should also be remembered that for the children under 12 years of age no green pass is required. Now that we have clarified the difference between the two types of green passes, let’s try to understand what it takes to play sports.
Gyms and swimming pools: which green pass you need –
The government has prepared one table of activities allowed without / with “basic” / “enhanced” green pass. From this table merge that it outdoor sports, even in picnic areas and public parks, it is always allowed to everyone, both vaccinated and unvaccinated, and no green pass is required. Also for rehabilitation and therapeutic activities included in the essential levels of assistance (LEA) no green pass is required in any area.
In the gyms, swimming pools and outdoor swimming centers sports can also be practiced without a green pass both in the white and in the yellow areas, while in the orange area it is possible only and exclusively if in possession of a reinforced green pass.
In the indoor gyms, swimming pools and swimming centers sports can be practiced in the white and yellow zone with the basic or reinforced green pass, while in the orange zone it is possible only with the reinforced green pass.
Access to the changing rooms: who is allowed –
In Zone white and yellow to access the changing rooms you need the green pass, but it can also be just the basic one. Instead in orange zone only those vaccinated and therefore in possession of the reinforced green pass can access the changing rooms.
Team sports –
To practice team sports in sports center and outdoor sports clubs you do not need any green pass neither in the white area, nor in the yellow area, nor in the orange area. Instead if these sports are practiced indoors, you must have the green pass, at least the basic one in the white and yellow area, necessarily the reinforced one in the orange area.
Contact sports –
If you do not have a green pass, you cannot play contact sports indoors in any type of area. For the white and yellow areas, the basic green pass is enough, while for the orange ones you need the reinforced green pass. Contact sports outdoors they can also be practiced without the green pass in the white and yellow zone, with the green pass strengthened in the orange zone.
Ski lifts and green pass: the rules –
In ski lifts and ski areas you can buy two types of ski passes:
1) ski pass which also allows non-exclusive access to cable cars, gondola lifts and chairlifts if used with closing of the windscreen domes;
2) ski pass for the exclusive use of ski lifts other than cable cars, gondola lifts and chair lifts if used with closing of the windscreen domes.
The purchase of the first type ski pass in the white and yellow zone it is only allowed to those in possession of a green pass, at least the basic one. In orange zone only those who have the reinforced green pass and therefore they are vaccinated. The second type of ski pass they can all have it in the white or yellow zone, even without a green pass, while in the orange zone you need the reinforced green pass, exactly as for the first type of ski pass.
