The tough entry rules were introduced in 21 June ostensibly to combat the spread to Italy of the Delta variant of Covid-19.


The requirement has been extended on several occasions, most recently to the end of August.


However, Italy’s health ministry confirmed at the weekend the five-day mandatory quarantine requirement for UK arrivals would not be extended into September.


Arrivals must, though, be able to provide proof of being fully vaccinated against Covid-19 at least 14 days prior to arrival, and of testing negative for Covid up to 48 hours prior to departure.
