In all cases, entry will be allowed following presentation of a certificate of negative molecular or antigen test performed in the 72 hours prior to entry, compulsory molecular or antigen test upon arrival at the airport; compulsory isolation, regardless of the test result, at a COVID Hotel for a period of ten days; compulsory molecular or antigen test at the end of the quarantine period; compulsory completion of the Digital Passenger Locator Form before entering Italy.

Those who have stayed in or transited through the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in the 14 days prior to entering Italy are required to:

- produce a negative molecular or antigen swab test in the 48 hours prior to entering Italy;

- fill in the Digital Passenger Locator Form before entering Italy; 

- undergo health surveillance and self-isolation for 5 days;

- undergo an additional molecular or antigen swab test at the end of the 5-day isolation period.

Some exemptions to self-isolation apply, such as for people who enter Italy from the UK for a period of less than 5 days for reasons of work, health or emergency; for people who transit in Italian territory by private vehicle for less than thirty-six hours; and for the staff of businesses and entities with registered or secondary offices in Italy, travelling for proven reasons of work or spending less than 5 days in Italy.

And children under 6 years of age are exempt from the pre-departure swab test in all cases.
