Authorities in Italy have kept in place strict entry rules in order to prevent the further spread of the Coronavirus and its new variants.

However, recently the government decided to abolish the majority of the restrictions in order to further help the country’s industries recover from the damages caused by the Coronavirus and its new variants.

Earlier this month, the country’s Ministry of Health announced that it abolished the requirement to complete the Passenger Locator Form while stressing that the rest of the restrictions would be prolonged until the end of the month.

In addition, the government of Italy also announced that the country lifted the mandatory face mask requirement, so travellers could enjoy their trips more without being subject to additional entry requirements.
