12.03.2021 Opening of Italian borders and rules for entry into Sicily island

The Italian Council of Ministers approved the extension of the state of emergency on the national territory until April 30, 2021, as a consequence of the health risk associated with the spread of pathologies deriving from transmissible viral agents, with particular reference to the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and to the associated pathology, COVID-19.

Travel to/from abroad is managed by the DPCM of 2 March 2021, in force from 6 March to 6 April 2021.

Furthermore, we inform you that on the Italian territory there are differentiated restrictive measures, divided into four risk bands (white, yellow, orange, red). The belonging of a Region or Autonomous Province, or other area of the territory, to a band is subject to periodic review. In the regions in the red band, travel is only allowed for proven reasons of work, health or necessity. The measures envisaged, in general, for each risk band, are indicated here.

____________________________________________________________________

Travels to Italy are regulated on the basis of lists of groups of countries, identified by the letters A, B, C, D, E, for which different restrictive measures are envisaged. In addition, there are some, limited exceptions to the obligation of fiduciary isolation, surveillance and obligation to have a molecular or antigenic testing, which we invite you to check on the links below.
