Italian travel covid procedures

Google Italy dplf. Each visitor must complete the form. We scotch-taped our CDC cards in our passports on our recent trip.

It is not 24 hours before departing the US, it is 24 hours before entry into Italy, IF you are taking an antigen test. If a PRC test, it is 72 hours before if you are coming from the USA. Here is the link to the official website for Italy:

https://www.salute.gov.it/portale/nuovocoronavirus/dettaglioContenutiNuovoCoronavirus.jsp?lingua=italiano&id=5412&area=nuovoCoronavirus&menu=vuoto&tab=4

So you need to take the scheduled arrival time of your flight in Italy, convert that to US time where you live, and count back 24 hours to figure out the “window” if you are relying on an antigen test.

I think you have to take a test 24 hours prior to departure in Italy and must be negative in order to get back into USA. I go a week after you and am hoping this part will not be necessary by then 🤞🏻

I would be shocked if the negative test for re-entry is dropped and really shocked if dropped by March

Lots of easy ways to get tested there either at a pharmacy or proctored self test

Christine H I agree I’m trying not to stress about it to much and just make sure we take proper precautions and of course we are vaccinated and 2 of us have had our booster ( other 2 family memories will still be within 6 mo of second shot) hoping it all goes smoothly. I think this latest peak should at least be slower by then.

Current guidelines I believe are thru January 31st. I have a trip planned for April so I'm waiting to see what changes will take effect on February 1st & thru what date.

For your return to the States, you need to take the test the day prior to your departure from Italy (not “24 hours” prior to departure). It gives you a little more leeway for your test for re-entry to the U.S.

For your trip to Italy, you need a negative test taken within the 24 hours prior to your arrival in Italy if you are taking an antigen test. It's either 48 hours or 72 hours if you're taking a PCR test, i forget which.

I hope you’ve seen the change - as of March 1, Italy no longer requires a covid
Test prior to arrival. And it appears that proof of vaccination doesn’t have to be oploaded before trip, at least not in the Delta FlyReady site. I guess the EU dLF is all. We leave in a few days. Whew!

Just to be clear.

For travel to Italy. If someone can verify my understanding of travel there? I would appreciate it.
No Covid test to travel to Italy currently. But, you must fill out the Digital Pass LF form prior to departure. And our CDC vaccination card is what is required as Italy's "Super Green Pass"?

You will need to test one day before your return flight to USA

Does the US CDC vaccination card qualify as the Super Green Pass in Italy?

Basically yes, it is accepted for entrance to places that require proof of vaccination
(there is no mechanism for US citizens to get the Super Green Pass)

Carry your original CDC card along with your passport
It must show full vaccination including booster

I'm flying into Milan and I read that on the bus from the airport FFP2 masks (same as N95's) are required. I haven't seen that requirement anywhere else, though masks are required in a lot of places, so I'm taking some N95's with me.

Have a great time in Rome and post any interesting tidbits . . . . I'll be in Rome a week after you leave :-)

The FFP2 or equivalent mask is required for all transportation modes as far as I can tell, whether bus, train, tram, ferry or metro. We brought N95s with us. Arrived in Milan last week. In Florence now. Was in Como over weekend. So far, so good!
