For this reason, in the height of the tourist season, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has published a new notice inviting Italian citizens to be extremely cautious and warning them to follow the instructions of the local authorities to the letter in case of staying abroad.

"All those who intend to go abroad, regardless of destination and reasons", reads the Farnesina website, "must consider that any movement, in this period, may involve a health risk". Citizens are therefore invited to plan each trip with the "utmost attention", contemplating the possibility of having to spend quarantine periods abroad, in the event of a positive swab, and have health insurance that covers the coronavirus infection.

Furthermore, the press release reminds you that, in the event of a positive swab, it is not possible to travel on public and commercial transport and that you are subject to the health regulations established by the country in which you are. These provisions also concern any "contacts" with positive subjects, therefore the obligation to swab to check the state of health and preventive quarantines can also be imposed on those who have simply been "exposed" to the risk of contagion, but have not yet ascertained its positivity. "To protect public health" concludes the notice from the Foreign Ministry, anyone who has been in contact with positive people or has tested positive for an anti Covid-19 test will be able to "return to Italy" only "at the end of the period expected isolation ”.
