Goodbye to re-entry tampons in Italy starting today

I re-entry buffers in Italy are heading toward farewell (at least for the time being).

Starting today, February 1, 2022, those who return to Italy after a stay in a European Union country will no longer have to undergo the swab. That is, unless they are neither vaccinated nor cured. In essence, the Green Pass base. And pads will be only one of three alternatives provided.

Flying to Italy, without super green pass will (almost) no longer be possible

Tampons back to Italy: the basic Green Pass will count

Last January 26, 2022, Minister Speranza signed an ad hoc ordinance to travel to the European Union. Starting February 1, it will be sufficient to be in possession of the basic Green Pass to re-enter Italy.

Those who have a vaccination certificate, or a certificate of recovery, will therefore not have to take the re-entry swab in Italy. Swab which stay instead Mandatory for those who are neither vaccinated nor cured (in which case, the test should be molecular no older than 48 hours or antigenic no older than 24).

Instead, everyone, regardless of their status, must fill out the Passenger Locator Form.

Specifically, the re-entry buffer will no longer be needed for those arriving from: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Czech Republic, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Hungary, Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Andorra and Monaco.

Instead, the re-entry buffer will continue to be mandatory for countries on List D. And it will have to be a molecular test conducted within the previous 72 hours or antigenic test conducted within the previous 24 hours (the molecular test deadline is reduced to 48 hours for those coming from the UK). However, it is good to remember that to travel to a List D country, one must be vaccinated. This is not so much because such countries require the vaccine, but because re-entry to Italy is allowed only for those who are immunized. Belonging to List D are: Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Japan, Indonesia, Israel, Kuwait, New Zealand, Peru, Qatar, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, United Kingdom, Republic of Korea, United States of America, United Arab Emirates, Uruguay, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau.

Those from the United States, Canada or Japan may submit - as an alternative to the vaccination certificate - a certificate of recovery. But he will have to undergo a 5-day fiduciary isolation before swabbing (molecular or rapid).

Covid-free corridors

Another piece of good news, for travelers, is theexpansion of Covid-free corridors. Which as of February 1 also include. Cuba, Singapore, Turkey, the Thai island of Phuket, Oman e French Polynesia. Destinations, these, joining the Maldives, Mauritius, Seychelles, Aruba, Dominican Republic, Sharm El Sheikh and Marsa Alam.

Step by step, then, it is back to traveling. Especially since WHO recommended the lifting of restrictions, now no longer justified by the epidemiological situation.
