Travellers arriving from EU countries, the Schengen Area, Great Britain and Israel can enter Italy without having to observe compulsory quarantine provided that a negative result was obtained from a molecular or antigenic swab taken no more than 48 hours prior to entry into Italy.

It is mandatory to maintain the safe distance of at least one metre from non-cohabiting people.

COVID-19 GREEN CERTIFICATIONS

Covid-19 green certification is a document that proves:

• that you have been vaccinated against COVID-19
• that you have recovered from COVID-19 infection
• that you have tested negative in a rapid molecular or antigen test

Vaccination certification is valid for nine months after completion of the vaccination cycle: if the vaccine envisages two doses, the nine-month validity period therefore begins with the administration of the second dose. Certification is also issued after the first dose; in this case, validity begins fifteen days after administration and expires upon administration of the second dose.

Certification of full health recovery is valid for six months. Certification of COVID-19 negativity is valid for 48 hours.

Green certification is required to move from one region of white or yellow to another region of orange or red color in the absence of work, health or proven urgency. In some cases you may need to have a green certificate in order to access particular events or shows, including sporting events in stadiums.

Certification is required for all subjects over two years of age.
