To contain the corona pandemic, Italy is imposing a quarantine requirement when entering from other EU countries. Travelers from EU countries would have to take a corona test before entering Italy, remain in quarantine for five days after arriving in Italy, and then take a corona test again at the end of this time, according to the Ministry of Health in Rome.
After five days of testing
Italian Health Minister Roberto Speranza wants to sign a corresponding ordinance on Wednesday, according to government circles on Tuesday. If you are coming from EU countries, including Austria, you must undergo a five-day test and quarantine when you return to Italy. Then you have to do another test.
The quarantine already applies to all non-EU countries.
With the quarantine also when entering from EU countries, the Italian government wants to prevent many Italians from traveling abroad during the Easter holidays. From April 3 to 6, Italy will become the “Red Zone”, Italians cannot leave their community to visit relatives in other places or regions. However, they are allowed to travel abroad if they have tested negative for the coronavirus.
Outrage from the hoteliers association
This sparked outrage in the Federalberghi hoteliers association. “I cannot leave my community, but I can fly to the Canary Islands. This is absurd if you consider that 85 percent of Italian hotels are closed, “Federalberghi president Bernabo Bocca said in an interview with the Milan daily. Corriere della Sera.
