Italy has announced that a passenger locator form is no longer required to enter the country - but other Covid travel rules will remain in place until the end of the month.
According to SchengenVisaInfo, the Italian Ministry of Health announced the extension is to curb the prevalence of coronavirus in the country, despite Italy no longer being in a state of emergency.
Meanwhile, Italy has scrapped the need for a Covid pass to get into public places such as museums, pubs and hotels.
Tourists from the UK will no longer need to fill out a Passenger Locator Form for entering Italy as of Sunday, May 1.
However, Italy's other entry restrictions will be extended until May 31.
This means both EU and non-EU travellers will still have to show proof of the following to enter the country:
Certificate of vaccination against Covid-19
Travellers must be vaccinated for at least 270 days with a final dose of Covid-19 vaccine and a third booster to enter without restrictions.
Certificate of recovery from Coronavirus
Those who have tested positive for Covid-19 in the last 180 days and have recovered can also enter without further requirements.
The test confirming infection must be performed by a professional.
Certificate of negative Covid-19 test results
It is still possible for the unvaccinated and unrecovered to enter Italy with a negative Covid-19 test.
Only PCR tests performed within 72 hours before arrival and rapid antigen tests taken within 48 hours will be accepted.
None of the above
Those who arrive unvaccinated with no certificates of any kind will be required to quarantine for five days upon arrival.
Isolation will end only after this time ends and a negative test result for Covid-19 is provided.
Green Health Pass
The legal requirement to present a Covid-19 Green Health pass for Italians and tourists to enter places like pubs, museums and hotels has also been abolished.
In spite of a high number of Covid-19 cases detected in the country, the level of severity remains mild and hospitalisations are low.
The Italian Ministry of Health said: "From May 1, 2022, the COVID-19 green certification is no longer required for activities and services.
"It remains mandatory to access the inpatient departments of hospitals and nursing homes as visitors."
