Travel in pandemic times is increasingly complicated, and flexibility is the new buzzword. While going outside the European community for nonessential reasons, such as tourism, is virtually impossible, even traveling within EU borders has rules that are constantly changing.

If in recent days German Chancellor Angela Merkel had advised her compatriots to go quietly to Italy, the same cannot be said to be guaranteed for many other European travelers.
With the new DCPM signed by the Minister of Health, measures have been tightened for people who intend to enter Italy and who have stayed or transited in the last 14 days in Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Northern Ireland, the Czech Republic and Spain.
Two measures must be met. The first is to have the certification of the negative result of a swab performed no later than 72 hours prior to boarding or the possibility of undergoing the swab immediately upon arrival in Italian territory. In addition to this, passengers are obliged to report their entry to the national territory to the prevention department of the relevant Asl.
Instead, the measures for those returning from Malta, Greece and Croatia: As of today, October 8, only a self-declaration will be required to be handed in when boarding the plane.
