The following measures will terminate as of April 1 (let's hope it's not an April Fool's joke):
- End of color coded zones
- End of quarantined periods in case of contact with positive person
- End of all masks outdoors
- End of FFPE2 (N95) masks in schools
- End of green pass requirements (vaccination card) for all outdoors events and gradually also for indoors venues

More details will probably be released soon.

Frank.

It’s very pleasant news. Effective 3/1/22.

“As Italy has announced it will ease Covid travel rules for non-EU arrivals from March, here's a closer look at how the restrictions are set to change.
From March 1st, the rules for arrivals from outside the EU will be simplified, Italian Health Minister Roberto Speranza announced on Tuesday.

Non-EU arrivals will no longer need to show both proof of vaccination against or recovery from Covid and a negative test result.

Either a vaccination certificate, recovery certificate or negative test result will be sufficient for entry to Italy from that date.”
