For a safe Corona summer vacation: Mediterranean island only wants to let in vaccinated people - there are exceptions

Where to go on summer vacation 2021 in the corona pandemic?

The Mediterranean island of Sardinia is making a polarizing decision for more security in the Covid 19 crisis.

And is therefore considered a pioneer.

Munich / Cagliari - White, in Sardinia these are no longer just the sandy beaches, some of which are kilometers long.

The zona bianca is also the lowest warning level in Italy's corona traffic light system.

And as the only one of the total of 20 Italian regions, the huge island in the Mediterranean currently falls into this white zone due to the comparatively low number of Covid-19 cases.

Because: Around March 9, the 7-day incidence was below 50, while new corona infections on the Italian mainland rose significantly again.

Expression of concern about a third wave: Italy (more than 100,000 deaths in connection with Covid-19) will be the first EU country to produce the Russian corona vaccine Sputnik V.

The Italian-Swiss pharmaceutical company Adienne will be producing the vaccine in Lombardy from July, the spokesman for the Italian-Russian Chamber of Commerce, Stefano Maggi, told the

. 

And: According to the daily

Repubblica

, the Scientific Council is proposing to the government to once again send the country into a tough lockdown.

Sardinia (around 1.6 million inhabitants), which is popular with tourists, is an exception with its relatively lower infection rate.

The region does not want to jeopardize its success in the coronavirus pandemic lightly - and is therefore planning something spectacular with a view to the summer holiday in 2021.

As the

Süddeutsche Zeitung

reports (behind a payment barrier), the regional government in Cagliari (around 150,000 inhabitants) only wants to allow guests who have already been vaccinated against Corona on the second largest island in the Mediterranean.

Corona summer vacation only for vaccinated people?

Is Sicily following the example of sardines?

This does not apply to visitors who can show a negative PCR test that is not older than 48 hours.

Which is quite difficult both when traveling by air and when crossing to Sardinia by ferry.

Otherwise, the following applies: Anyone who enters the country anyway and does not have a vaccination certificate must be quarantined for several days.

According to

SZ,

a Passaporto sanitario, i.e. a health card, should serve

as proof of vaccination

.

This could - digitally - serve as a pioneer throughout Europe.

Sicily, and thus another Italian holiday region, should also think about it.
