‘Health Minister Roberto Speranza has signed a new order lifting the special restrictive measures for South Africa and neighbouring countries,’ a ministry spokesperson told Reuters.

Lesotho, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia and Eswatini are also allowed to enter Italy now.

Travellers are required to present negative Covid-19 test results: antigen tests cannot be older than 24 hours, and PCR tests cannot be older than 72 hours.

In addition, unvaccinated travellers are subjected to a mandatory 10-day quarantine and must retake a Covid-19 test to end quarantine.
