The state of emergency, introduced in January last year, gives greater powers to the central government. The state of emergency expired at the end of December.

The Ministry of Health also ruled that from December 16 to January 31, all visitors to Italy from European Union countries must take a test before leaving. This requirement was already in force for many non-EU countries.

That being said, those who have not been vaccinated must also undergo a five-day quarantine upon arrival.
