Italy tightened restrictions for travelers entering from other European Union countries just ahead of the busy Christmas travel season, as Covid-19 cases surge across the continent.
The new rules mean that even vaccinated visitors must show proof of a negative test, and the non-vaccinated must self isolate for five days on arrival. The policy, announced by the health ministry on Tuesday, starts Thursday and lasts until Jan. 31. The plan was earlier reported by Bloomberg.
