COVID-19: Italy to scrap quarantine for fully vaccinated travellers from UK

Posted on September 17, 2021 By mediawiz

Travellers from the UK will no longer have to quarantine when they arrive in Italy if they are fully vaccinated and can show a negative COVID test.

Italy’s health ministry said the five-day mandatory quarantine will be scrapped from 31 August.

The negative PCR or antigen coronavirus test must have been taken 48 hours before arriving in Italy – and it must have been at least 14 days since the second vaccine dose was administered.

Existing restrictions for visitors from other countries will remain in place.

The country had introduced the restrictions on 21 June amid growing concerns over the Delta variant‘s prevalence in the UK.

Until 30 August, anyone who has been in the UK in the previous 14 days has to show a negative test to enter the country, self-isolate for five days, and then take another negative test to be released from quarantine.

Italy is on the amber list for all four nations in the UK.

This means that fully inoculated travellers coming back to the UK from Italy also need to show a negative test that was taken up to three days before travelling.

Data released by Italian health officials on 20 July showed that the Delta variant accounted for 94.8% of coronavirus cases in the country.

In the UK, the figure is over 98%.
