From June 3 you will travel throughout Italy, between regions and by sea; and abroad? Movements between Schengen countries resume without quarantines or self-certifications, but agreements between nations are complicated and different measures and rules are adopted , case by case, always based on the trend of the epidemic.
Greece, for example, opens its borders but Italians from risk areas will be tested, Spain allows tourists to enter but only from July while Croatia wants to book hotels as a guarantee. On the other hand, the borders are the responsibility of the individual countries and the European Commission can only invite everyone to coordinated agreements and to ensure that there is a common strategy not to disadvantage some States over others. At the moment, however, the opening of the borders is in fits and starts, as shown by Greece which since June 15 has allowed entry to 29 countries but until yesterday not ours, France and Spain.
"The entry ban does not apply to the nationality of tourists", the Greek government pointed out, "but to the country of origin"; Athens has however made it known that it will update the list of accesses allowed on July 1 and that it has adopted the measures requested by the European Commission according to which the 27 States must follow three criteria: epidemiological, using information from the European Agency which monitors the virus trend; containment and tracking capacity through apps and reservations. Today Greece has made it known that from June 15 international flights will be admitted to the Greek airports of Athens and Thessaloniki but if the plane comes from one of the airports on the list of "high risk" areas drawn up by the European Agency for air safety (which for Italy are Emilia-Romagna, Lombardy, Piedmont, Veneto) passengers will be tested on arrival. If negative, the passenger will self-quarantine for 7 days. If successful, the quarantine will be 14 days.
Waiting for EU ministers to meet on 5 June for further discussion, here are the basic rules for traveling this summer. From June 3 we will move to Europe and from 15 to non-EU countries, but with different rules: we can go on vacation in Croatia showing the hotel reservation but you cannot go through Slovenia, which has closed the borders for the emergency health . We can go to Austria but only for business reasons and with a 14-day quarantine: "The situation in Italy is the most difficult - said Chancellor Sebastian Kurz" but on June 3 we will look for a solution "; it is therefore probable that you will be able to enter but only with a hotel reservation. Switzerland is also closed except for cross-border commuters for business reasons and borders will probably be open only from 6 July. France has never actually closed its borders, but for now Italians who want to go on vacation must have a self-certification and declaration of absence of symptoms from Covid-19; travel will be easier from June 15 when the rules come loose.
Spain opens up to international tourism since July 1st under conditions of maximum safety: "Spanish tourism will now have two new fundamental focuses: environmental sustainability and health security." announced President Pedro Sanchez. From June 8, those who want to travel to Great Britain will have to make a 14-day quarantine, as well as in Belgium, Malta and Ireland. Compulsory isolation for those who go to Poland, but from June 13 restrictions will loosen even if not for Italy, which still remains under observation. Germany has opened its borders since 15 June without restrictions, but for now it is only traveling for business reasons. Those who want to take a holiday in Cyprus - which from July opens the borders to many countries except Italy - will have to wait for the health emergency to improve.
The diplomacies are therefore still at work and pending further openings or closings, it is good to consult the website viaggioiaresicuri.it by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
