Special Measures for Passengers entering Italy or in Transit through Italy
From August 13 2020 a new decree by the Italian Minister of Health has come into force providing the following alternative measures which apply to people entering Italy after staying in, or transiting from Greece in the last 14 days:
a. Obligation to present a certificate showing a negative result of a swab, done within the 72 hours prior to entry in Italy;
or
b. Obligation to undergo a molecular or antigen test carried out through a swab upon arrival at the Italian airport, port or border place, where possible; or carried out, within 48 hours from entering the Italian territory, at the competent Italian National Public Health clinic.
In this latter case, while waiting for the examination test, people are due to wait in fiduciary isolation at their place of residence or dwelling.
