The current “COVID traffic situation”
The current Corona Situation – Update June 10, 2021
Dear Friends of Italy,
it is summer and Italy is waiting for its guests.
Travel to Italy is possible without quarantine. This applies to the European Union, the Schengen area, Great Britain and Israel.
There is still an obligation to present a negative Covid test upon entry. The test must be a maximum of 48 hours old and must be taken in the country from which you are entering. Both the PCR test and the rapid antigen test are recognized.
The vaccination campaign is proceeding rapidly in Italy and almost all regions will be in the white zone from June 21st. This means that there are only a few restrictions from June onwards, tourism should finally pick up speed again with the EU Green Pass.
From June 14th, Lombardy, Lazio, Piedmont, Apulia, Emilia-Romagna and the province of Trento will enter the white zone, after extensive freedoms in Sardinia, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Molise, Liguria, Veneto, Umbria and Abruzzo consist.
From June 21st it will be the turn of Sicily, Marche, Tuscany, Calabria, Campania, and the province of Bolzano. The last province will be the Aosta Valley from June 28th.
Hotels and restaurants are open. The night curfew has been lifted. Theater and sporting events are again allowed to play in front of an audience with a reduced number of visitors.
Only dance events and large celebrations with many guests are prohibited until further notice.
Vaccination status:
• 45% received the 1st vaccination
• 23% are fully vaccinated

Corona Traffic Light
Every week, the government decides on the traffic light color of the individual regions according to the current infection rate: white – yellow – orange – red
Depending on the color of the region, restaurants, bars, retail stores, museums, etc. may open.
Each regional government can again mark zones with a higher risk within its region. A single town in the yellow region zone can therefore be declared a “dark orange or red place”. Then everything is closed in this place and nobody leaves the place, except in justified cases like work, health and other justified cases. A pass (Autocertificazione) must be presented.
Since the zones can change quickly, it is very difficult to keep up-to-date information at short notice.
All regions are in the yellow zone and it is checked which regions are allowed to change into the white zone.
