Italy relaxed some Covid-19 restrictions on Sunday (May 1) before Europe’s peak summer tourist season. The Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, has signed the order extending the provisions for arrivals from foreign countries to 31 May.
The change concerns the Passenger Locator Form, which from 1 May will no longer be necessary. The document had been introduced in the summer of 2021 to regulate departures and contained all of the information needed to locate the traveller in the event of any Covid infection during travel.
The requirement to use FFp2 masks remains for:
aircraft used for commercial passenger transport services
ships and ferries used for interregional transport services
trains used in interregional, Intercity, Intercity Night and High-Speed passenger rail transport services
buses used for passenger transport services, with an undifferentiated offer, carried out on the road in a continuous or periodic manner on a route connecting more than two regions and having routes, schedules, frequencies and prices predetermined
buses used for rental services with driver
vehicles used in local or regional public transport services
means of school transport dedicated to primary school, lower secondary school and secondary school students
performances open to the public that take place indoors in theatres, concert halls, film theatres, live music and entertainment venues and other assimilated venues, and sporting events and competitions that take place indoors.
