1. When I was there (which was in November, mind you, so things may have changed), we wore KN95 masks and nobody ever questioned them or looked closely at them. As far as I could tell, nobody was checking that closely, but nobody wore cloth masks, and people were asked to put on a mask if they didn't have one. At the airport in Amsterdam, there were people wearing cloth masks who were sent upstairs to buy disposable masks before boarding the plane to Italy.
2. I was able to add all my accommodations. However, I have seen people post here that they just put the first one.

2, you only list your first hotel.

In Florence now. Folks are wearing N95-like masks or the surgical type masks both in the city and on the plane. There were actually a bunch of folks not wearing masks at all in the Zürich airport-including one of the gate agents for our flight to Florence. They did make folks mask up for the shuttle to the plane. We have seen no one inside without a mask in Italy.

We stressed about the form as we were not able to fill out online and had a very unhappy gate agent in LA upset we hadn’t done it. And then no one collected it when we arrived in Florence.

No one is inspecting masks. As long as it looks like a N95, which is called FFP2 in Europe, you are fine.

In Rome, are they wearing the blue surgical masks? Also can you wear the blue surgical on flight to Rome?

Flights require N95 or equivalent

From most reporting here Italians are wearing same, not the blue surgical masks or cloth masks (which are quite useless)

I'm here now and almost every Italian is wearing, at least what looks like, a KN or N95. Occasional surgical masks, no cloth masks. On our connecting flight from Paris to Firenze, the flight attendant was stopping folks boarding the plane who were wearing cloth or surgical masks and giving them an N95 to put on. We have wore our N95s on the flights and trains, but surgical when out and about and just popping into shops/restaurants--just personal preference as the N95s are really uncomfortable for me.

Rachel - the mask rules don’t care about your personal preference. Here in Austria, like Italy, FFP2/N95 are required - it’s not a choice or preference. Surgical masks are useless.

We just got back from Venice. N95 was required (provided if needed) to enter San Mark's Basilica, Campanile Tower.

Surgical masks was used at all other locations, ie.. all flights (TAP Air), coop, indoor locations, shops, restaurants, vaporetto...

Outdoors, hardly anyone was wearing any mask...

As for testing, we went to one of the pharmacies on this document. Made appointment on our first day there, 22€ per person, paid when appointment scheduled.

Results on-site in 10 minutes, email in 30 minutes..

On the return flight to U.S. from Portugal (17 hour layover) everyone needed to fill out a Covid test document. Lots of copies of the form available before entering gate area.

Once completed, airplane personnel checks, passport, cdc card, boarding pass, covid test.

BTW, althought we had filled out the both Portugal and Italy dPLF, it was checked only at gate before departure from Miami to Portugal. No one asked on connecting flight to Italy and return flights to the U.S.

In case you didn’t see these recent upcoming changes:

Thank everyone for the information regarding Masks - it’s good to know Italy is making new changes April 1-30 and updating new regulations on May 1st. going forward.

I guess the eu PLC forms is still required for Italy?

Any updates on completing the PLC form?
