Italy entry restrictions for people coming from the United Kingdom
Italy - United Kingdom
The Order of December 23, 2020 of the Ministry of Health (attached), decided jointly with the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, identifies urgent measures to contain and manage the health emergency, and specifically the entry into the national territory of people from the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland. The Ordinance is published in the Official Journal of the Italian Republic of December 23, 2020 - n.318.
Article 1 - paragraph 2 of the Ordinance (unofficial translation) states that:
Provided that no COVID-19 symptoms arise, and without prejudice to the declaration obligations under Art.7 of the Decree of the President of the Council of Ministers of December 3, 2020, the provisions of the Order of the Minister of Health of December 20, 2020, as supplemented by the new order, do not apply to the crew and traveling personnel of means of transport of persons and goods, without prejudice to the obligation to undergo a molecular or antigenic test, to be carried out by means of a swab, upon arrival at the airport, port or border location, where possible, or within 48 hours of entry into the national territory at the local health authority of reference.
The rule does not mention the obligation to the fiduciary isolation or quarantine.
These provisions apply until January 15, 2021.
FIAP suggests (only) to those who are interested, and are not resident in Italy and have reasons of absolute necessity to enter the Italian territory, at least to:
- to fill in the attached self-declaration (attached text available only in Italian language);
- to have the result of a molecular or antigenic test, carried out within 72 hours of arrival at the border, with a negative response;
At this moment FIAP is not aware of any specific operative dispositions sent to the Border Control Bodies. The eventual issuance of these provisions may be decisive.
The situation is constantly evolving. Any updates will be transmitted as soon as available.
