The Italian Ministry of Health has extended the current ordinace of 13 August, until the 30 September. The ordinance requires a mandatory COVID-19 swab for people who, during the previous two weeks, have been or transited to Greece, Croatia, Malta or Spain. Persons who have stayed in or transited through Croatia, Greece, Malta, or Spain in the previous 14 days are still required to EITHER: a) upon boarding a means of transport to Italy, provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken within the previous 72 hours OR b) take a COVID-19 test upon arrival at an Italian airport, port, or border crossing, where possible. Alternatively, the test must be taken within 48 hours of arriving in Italy through their local health authority; in such cases, persons must observe quarantine at their own residence until the test can be administered by their local health authority. Such provisions do not apply to officials of international organizations, provided that they have not visited or transited also through Bulgaria and Romania and any of the countries listed below in the paragraph “Entry ban”, and they are not suffering any symptoms of COVID-19.

An entry Ban on people who have visited countries at risk within the last 14 days (Armenia, Bahrein, Bangladesh, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Chile, Kuwait, North Macedonia, Moldova, Oman, Panama, Peru, Dominican Republic, Republic of Kosovo, Republic of Montenegro, Serbia, and Colombia), are prohibited from entering Italy.

Before boarding, all passengers shall have their temperature taken.For more information visit the: Italian Foreign Ministry website. International arivals are obliged to fill in a self-declaration form if stopped and checked.

The Italian Minister of Health has just announced the signature of an Ordinance that states that anyone arriving in Italy from specific areas/regions of France is required to undergo a swab in order to check for possible contagion from Covid-19. The regions are: Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, Corse, Hauts-de-France, Ile-de-France (including Paris), Nouvelle Aquitaine, Occitanie, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur. The Ordinance, which will enter into effect as of tomorrow 22 September 2020, provides for the obligation to present a molecular or antigenic test with a negative result, carried out by means of a swab, within 72 hours before entering Italy, or the obligation to undergo a swab upon arrival in Italy (through quick tests available in major airports, port, or border location, where possible, or within 48 hours of entering Italy at the competent local health authority surgery), in analogy to what is already in effect for individuals entering Italy from Croatia, Greece, Malta and Spain.

Internal Restrictions:
All travellers entering Italy must comply with the regulations of the region they are visiting. Public transport links may be less frequent, and seating limited to comply with social distancing measures. Masks must be worn on board public services. Taxi and car hire options are widely available.

Rail services are returning to their usual timetables, but there are still some reduced domestic services and international travel is limited. Some cross-border bus companies have cancelled their services.

From 15 August, Italian flagged cruise ships can recommence sailings, available to residents of Schengen countries. Passenger ferry schedules remain subject to change and cancellations. Speak to your transport provider for the latest information.
More information on all these requirements is available from the Ministry of Health or the European Union’s Re-Open EU page.

Italian society has broadly reopened following the initial Coronavirus lockdown, however the following measures are still in place:
• social distancing of one metre must be observed;
• the use of masks is mandatory in enclosed public spaces. In all outdoor spaces, mask must be worn between the hours of 6pm and 6am throughout most of Italy, and at all times on the island of Sardinia. You should pay close attention to signage and carry a mask with you at all times;
• parks are open and outdoor exercise is permitted, subject to social distancing;
• funerals are permitted to take place with limited attendance. Churches can celebrate mass, weddings and baptisms;
• restaurants, pubs, bars, shops, hairdressers, salons and beaches are open, as are libraries. All must have measures in place to enforce social distancing;
• from 16 August, dance activity has been suspended, in enclosed nightclubs and open-air venues;
• museums and archeological sites are open but entry must be pre-booked.
Regional authorities in Italy are empowered to adjust these measures in keeping with local requirements; regional differences may therefore apply in addition to the restrictions listed above.
