One of the main innovations, compared to the ordinance expired yesterday, concerns the countries included in the “D” list, that is, in those, that is, in which one can go for any reason – always provided that the borders of the destination State are open to foreigners -, but with some conditions upon return. In detail, in fact, those returning to Italy from the countries of the “D” list must fill in the Passenger locator form, present a negative swab made no later than 72 hours (48 for Great Britain), undergo fiduciary isolation for 5 days at the arrival and, therefore, carry out a new swab at the end of the quarantine.

THE GUIDE. Here is who to contact in Fvg for information on the Green pass
Three non-European countries, but particularly important for our tourism as well as realities in which the pandemic is currently not at alarm levels, have been equated, as happened in the recent past, with European Union states and, more generally, of the Schengen area. In fact, travelers arriving from Canada, Japan and the United States of America are allowed to enter Italy after completing the Passenger locator form and the simultaneous availability of a green certification which, as regards vaccinations, must comply with the EMA guidelines. , that is, based on the prophylaxis of Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson. On the other hand, the ban on entry into the country has been confirmed for all those who, in the previous 14 days, have stayed or have transited through Bangladesh, Brazil, India and Sri Lanka.
The rest of the countries of the world that are not part of the European Union, of the Schengen area, of the “D” list and of the four states that are prohibited from entering Italy, enter the so-called “E” list where, in compliance with to the previous ordinance, Thailand and Rwanda were also included. The movements to these territories, as well as the return to Italy by those who have stayed or passed through those countries in the previous 14 days, in detail, are only allowed in the presence of work needs, absolute urgency, health or study needs. . Entry into Italy is allowed upon completion of the Passenger locator form, a negative swab taken no later than the previous 72 hours – unless the trip to those countries or ours is less than 120 hours – and ten-day fiduciary isolation. at the end of which a new test is required that certifies the negativity to the coronavirus.
Not only the Green passes of the European Union, but also those of seven non-EU countries are valid, from today, in Italy on condition that the vaccination has been validated by the EMA. The first two states that have obtained the green light are the Vatican City and San Marino. And if it is true that in the small Republic of the Titan most of the vaccinations took place with the Russian drug Sputnik (not recognized by the EMA), it is equally true that travel to these countries is not subject to restrictions. On the other hand, the situation is different for other nations with Roberto Speranza who has decided how the certifications issued by the health authorities of Canada, Japan, Israel, the United Kingdom and the United States are recognized as equivalent to the Italian and Community ones. In any case, it should be emphasized that in those countries vaccination is taking place with the same drugs authorized by Amsterdam (Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson).
