Unvaccinated citizens of France and Italy are set to face tighter restrictions after officials ruled in favor of COVID-19 health passes for those attempting to enter restaurants, bars, and hospitals, as well as travel.
In France, the country’s top constitutional authority on Aug. 5 agreed with most aspects of a new law that requires citizens to carry a special COVID-19 health pass from next week onwards.
A health pass is only given to those who have been fully vaccinated, recently recovered from an infection, or recently tested negative from the virus.
The new restrictions mean residents will only be allowed to access cafes, restaurants, and, in some cases, hospitals, if they show the health pass.
While the pass has been in effect in France since July 21 for cultural and recreational venues, including cinemas, concert halls, and theme parks with capacity for more than 50 people, the new law vastly extends its application.
The Constitutional Council also ruled Thursday that the passes would be required for long-distance travel by train, plane, or bus, The Associated Press reported.
It also approved a ruling that health care workers should be vaccinated against the virus by Sept. 15 and hospital visitors will also require a health pass.
The special court did strike down several measures in the law, including the automatic 10-day isolation of people infected with the virus only being allowed to go outside for only two hours per day, which it said goes against French freedoms.
It struck down suspension of short-term contracts for those without a health pass—while accepting a suspension without remuneration of salaried employees with long-term contracts.
President Emmanuel Macron announced the proposed legislation in July and it was sped urgently through parliament last week amid an increase in COVID-19 cases in the country due to the highly contagious delta variant.
However, opponents of the measures accuse Macron of trampling on freedoms and discriminating against the unvaccinated.
The court’s recent ruling sparked protests in front of the Constitutional Council in Paris, with several hundred people denouncing the ruling, while more protests are planned for this weekend.
In a similar move on Thursday, government officials in Italy also announced that citizens will be required to show proof of at least one dose of vaccine, a negative coronavirus test, or recent recovery from COVID-19 in order to enter a number of public places.
As of Aug. 6, the pass will be required to go to gyms, swimming pools, sports stadiums, museums, spas, casinos, and cinemas. Eating in indoor restaurants also requires a pass.
Known as a “green pass,” the digital or paper certificate will also be mandatory for travelers on trains, planes, ships, and inter-city coaches from Sept. 1.

Dear brother!
The media and the "controlled oppisition" are forced into line in the same way than the popaganda of Hitler, even courts do not pursue criminal charges because of the poisons, they are dismissed with one sentence. This is what I know from Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Spain, etc. - Most churches go along with the plan - especially darbysts (plymouth), baptists, and free evangelical people, who in Germany during the Nazi-time even wore uniforms of the nazis, in order no to be persecuted. They prayed for Hitler and did everything to please the regime! I put the original letters of those "churches" here on the pages (it´s the two pdf), so you can read the facts, and warn the people:

Do not believe any "christian" who makes propaganda for the satanic jab! Those are false brothers and sisters, they serve the devil! You can copy whatever you need from the german page, and give it to those who are still ready to wake up! - Most "christians" are sleeping, they call us conspiracy theorist - that´s what a brother from Switzerland is telling me. - The Lord Jesus will come soon. Be not afraid. Refuse the jab and TRUST IN HIM!!!
Greetings from Spain.
