Folglich die neuesten Richtilinien für nach Italien bezüglich COVID 19.
- You must fill out a digital Passenger Locator form (or, in case of lack of necessary technology, a self-declaration);

- You can only take the test in the 48 hours before you arrive.

If you are unable to show proof of a molecular or antigenic test or unable to obtain a green pass, you can enter Italy, but you must:

- Self-isolate for ten (10) days
- take another molecular or antigenic test, carried out by means of a swab, at the end of the 10-day self-isolation. Exemptions are indicated below.
Further containment measures may be adopted at national and local level. Beware of that and check with your local authorities what movements are allowed. Restrictions may be adopted at national and/or regional level depending on the risk assessment carried out on a regular basis by the Ministry of Health. You can find useful information on local restrictions on the website of the Ministry of Health, by clicking Containment Measures in Italy.
