FCO update travel advice for Italy ahead of October half term

Holidaymakers heading to Italy will no longer need to wear FFP2 masks when using public transport in the country, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has confirmed. Previously face masks had to be worn on trains, buses and ferries.

Until October 31 FFP2 masks remain compulsory when visiting healthcare facilities such as hospitals and care homes. The FCDO advises travellers that masks are still recommended in all indoor public spaces.

It said that Brits should observe signage closely when travelling and carry a mask at all times, although children under five do not need to wear masks. Italy also removed the requirement to wear face masks on flights to and from the country in the summer.

If you test positive for Covid-19 while in Italy you must self-isolate immediately in your accommodation and call your regional hotline. You may be able to remain at your existing accommodation or be required to transfer into a state hospital or other government-provided accommodation.

You must self-isolate for five days and in order to be released from self-isolation, you must produce a negative PCR or antigen test. You will also need to have been symptom -free for at least two days. If you continue to test positive, you must remain in self-isolation for a maximum of 14 days from the first positive test.

Coronavirus restrictions can change suddenly so it’s always worth checking the latest guidance. For more information travel updates before you travel, check the FCDO website.
