On the issue of the risk that Italians on vacation could get stuck abroad the Farnesina yesterday published a note: “Since January 2020, the health emergency caused by COVID-19 has persisted all over the world. All those who intend to go abroad, regardless of the destination and the reasons for the trip, must consider that any movement, in this period, can involve a health risk. In particular, in the event that it is necessary to undergo molecular or antigen tests for entry into Italy or for the return to our country from a foreign destination, we remind you that travelers must take into consideration the possibility that the test gives a positive result “. The note continues: “In this case, it is not possible to travel with commercial vehicles and you are subject to quarantine procedures and containment envisaged from the country where you are located. These procedures involve, with some possible differences due to different local regulations, also the so-called “contacts” with the positive subject, which are also subjected to quarantine / isolation by the local authorities of the country in which one is located and which, to protect health public, will be able to return to Italy at the end of the period of isolation provided. It is therefore recommended to carefully plan every aspect of the trip, also contemplating the possibility of having to spend an additional period abroad, as well as having health insurance that also covers the risks associated with COVID-19 “.
