Italy targets unvaccinated with restrictions as cases rise

Italy's Prime Minister Mario Draghi holds a press conference after the Council of Ministers in Rome Wednesday, Nov. 24, 2021. The Italian government on Wednesday decided to exclude unvaccinated people from certain activities over the holidays in a bid to contain rising coronavirus infections and stave off financially crippling lockdowns just as the economy is starting to grow again. A new government decree also makes vaccinations, including booster shots, mandatory for law enforcement, military and all school employees. Previously, vaccines were only required for health care workers and teachers.
