Those who still have the application installed will no longer be able to use it to receive notifications regarding any contacts with positive people. Furthermore, it will no longer be possible to acquire the Green Pass either. Immuni, however, can be used to maintain certifications already acquired in the past or from other platforms.

Those who instead wish to recover their green certifications, in fact, will be able to do so through all the other online tools made available by the ministry. These include the Io App, the Electronic Health Record and the www.dgc.gov.it database
