RULES FOR WHITE REGIONS

CURFEW
There is no curfew in white regions.
 

FACE COVERINGS
Across Italy, carry a face covering with you when outside your home.

You must wear a face covering at all times when you are outside your home (in both indoor and outdoor locations), unless you can guarantee continued isolation from non-cohabitants.

This includes the following:

- Wearing a face-covering at all times in public transportation 

- Wearing a face-covering in private transportation if not traveling alone or with cohabitants.

- Wearing a face covering in a restaurant anytime you are not sitting at a table 

- Wearing a face covering when sitting or standing at a bar anytime you are not consuming food or drink

Exceptions
A face covering is not required to be worn by the following persons or in the following circumstances:

- Children under 6 years of age

- During exercise or sport

- When in your home (you are encouraged to wear face coverings if a non-cohabitant is present)

- When in a private yard outside your home, 

- When alone in a private office 

- While eating or drinking in a place and at a time allowed

- When you are alone or exclusively with cohabitants

- If you have a medical condition incompatible with wearing a face covering

- Operators or people who, in order to assist a person exempt from the obligation to wear a face covering, cannot in turn wear a face covering (for example, work with the hearing impaired that utilizes speech reading (or lip reading)).

Examples
Example A: If you are walking down a street or through a park, you would need to wear a face-covering because you cannot guarantee that you will remain one (1) meter from a non-cohabitant.

Example B: If you are hiking in the woods or a remote part of the mountains alone or with a cohabitant, then you would not need to wear a face-covering because you can remain isolated from non-cohabitants. (But remember, you should still have a face-covering with you and available to wear.)

Example C:  If you have a desk in an open workspace, such as a front office, or work in a hangar or garage where others can freely enter or pass by, you must wear a face covering.

Example D:  If you are traveling in a train car alone, you must wear a face covering because you cannot guarantee a railway employee or other passenger will not be present or is present without your noticing.

Face Covering Design
Face coverings must meet the following requirements:
1. Face coverings may be disposable or washable and may be self-made.
2. Face coverings should be made of multilayer materials, providing an appropriate barrier, but they should also be comfortable and breathable.
3. Face coverings cover from the chin all the way to above the nose.
4. Single-layer gaiters used as face coverings should be folded over to create two layers and meet the above requirements.

 

Fines
Fines for not wearing a face-covering or not wearing a face-covering properly range from 400€ to 1000€.

DISTANCING 
You must maintain a physical distance of at least one (1) meter from non-cohabitants.

Maintain two meters of distance if engaging in a sport.

Physical distance should be measured from the mouth to the mouth of the individuals concerned.

MOVEMENT:
Travel between white and yellow zones is permitted for any reason. No green certificate or testing is required for travel between white/yellow zones.

If your home region is in a white or yellow zone, you can travel to any white or yellow zone and back.

Note: Individuals traveling from a white zone are able to travel through red and orange zones to reach a yellow or white destination.

In passenger vehicles, cohabitants do not have to wear a mask.

If there are any non-cohabitants in a vehicle, then only the driver can be in the front of the car and a maximum of two passengers can sit in each row of rear seats. In the case of non-cohabitants in a car, all passengers must wear a mask.

Travel from a White to an Orange or Red Zone:

You can travel to a destination that is in an orange or red zone for the following reasons: work needs, in-person education, situations of necessity, health reasons, and to return home. Travelers with a destination in an orange or red zone should carry a self-certification form with them.

Exception: Individuals in white zones who have a green certificate are allowed to travel to orange or red zones for any reason. This means that individuals with green certificates can travel to/from any region regardless of color.

RULES APPLIED TO RED (TYPE 4) REGIONS***
Territories with the highest COVID-19 risk will be designated as Red (Type 4).  Please note that although some key rules from the Yellow (Type 2)  and Orange (Type 3) region rules above are reiterated here, all of the measures applicable to Yellow and Orange regions continue to apply in red regions, unless a more restrictive rule is announced below:
 

MOVEMENT.
Movement outside of your private home and yard is prohibited except for work, in-person education, health reasons, necessity (for example, to purchase necessary goods/services, pickup USPS mail), or return home.

Green Certificate Exception: individuals with green certificates are allowed to travel to/from red zones to/from any other color zone. This means that individuals with green certificates will be able to travel to/from any region regardless of color.

Exceptions

Shopping for needed items is always a justification for travel. Therefore, where your Municipality does not have a store that sells a needed item or provides a needed service, then you may travel outside your municipality to the nearest location that provides that good or service.

Additionally, you may always go to an adjacent municipality to buy a basic necessity simply if a store provides significant economic advantage (e.g., you will save tens of dollars).  A list of adjacent municipalities is located here.
 

Examples
Example A: My municipality does not have an automobile repair shop and I need to get my brakes fixed.  Can I travel to the nearest automobile repair shop?  Yes, required automobile repairs would be a necessity that could justify movement beyond your municipality.

Example B:  I would really like a candy bar can I run to the corner store to get one?  If you do not have a particular health need for the candy bar, then no; that would not qualify as a need that would justify movement within the municipality. 

 

Curfew
Across Italy, a national curfew is in effect which prohibits movement between 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. every day. Between these hours, you may only leave your home for proven work needs, situations of necessity, or for health reasons.
 

Self-Declaration
You will need to carry a self-declaration form when traveling within your municipality during curfew and non-curfew hours (Curfew is from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.) as well as for any permitted travel outside of your region.

The self-declaration form can be presented to law enforcement if stopped in one of the above circumstances, and an Italian and English version of the self-declaration form can be found here .

The truthfulness of the self-declarations is subject to subsequent checks, and false declaration constitutes a crime.

Note: The Italian version may be filled out in English. Complete the Italian version of the self-certification form (using the English version as a template) before traveling.

 

VISITS
Travel to private dwellings other than one's own are not allowed, unless they are due to work, necessity or health reasons.

A parent or caretaker may have a child with them when exercising individually and may access parks with children.

You do not need to wear a face covering while exercising.

You are also allowed to go on a walk outdoors in the vicinity of your home, but must wear a proper face covering, maintain a one meter distance from non-cohabitants, and should carry a self-declaration stating the reason for movement.

You may take your pet outside to relieve itself.

RULES APPLIED TO ORANGE (TYPE 3) REGIONS
Please note that although some key rules from the Yellow region rules above are reiterated here, all of the measures applicable to Yellow (Type 2) regions continue to apply in orange regions, unless a more restrictive rule is announced below:

 

MOVEMENT
Movement outside of your municipality of residence is prohibited unless for proven work, in-person education, necessity, health reasons, to carry out needed activities or use needed services that are not suspended and unavailable in your municipality or residence, or to return home.

Movements made for a permitted reason do not require a green certificate or testing. Carry a self-certification form when moving outside you municipality of residence.

Green Certificate Exception: individuals with green certificates are allowed to travel to/from orange zones to/from any other color zone. This means that individuals with green certificates will be able to travel to/from any region regardless of color.

“Small Town” Exception
If you live in a municipality with 5,000 inhabitants or less, then you can travel freely within a 30km radius of your municipal borders (excluding travel to the provincial capitals) between the hours of 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. In other words, you may treat this 30km radius as though it is your municipality, and this includes travel to visit to a private home as described in the Visiting Others section below. You do not need to carry a self-declaration with you when traveling within the 30km radius, but you should provide one if requested by authorities (they may provide you with a self-declaration form to complete).

Additionally, while interregional travel is generally prohibited, if you live in a municipality with 5,000 inhabitants or less and the 30km radius from your municipal border crosses into another region, you may cross the regional border as long as you stay within the 30km radius.

Use of Services or Activities Outside Your Municipality
The use of unsuspended services or conduct of unsuspended activities not available in your municipality is limited to obtaining specific needs or requirements.

Shopping for a needed item is always a justification for travel. Therefore, where your municipality does not have a store that sells a needed item or provides a needed service, then you may travel outside your municipality to the nearest location that provides that good or service.

Additionally, you may always go to an adjacent municipality to buy a basic necessity simply if a store provides significant economic advantage (e.g., you will save tens of dollars). A list of adjacent municipalities is located here.

Also, remember if you fall into the “small town” exception above, you can always treat the 30km radius as your own municipality with regard to movement.

Examples
Example A: I live in Municipality A, and we don't have a hardware store. Can I travel to Municipality B to go to the hardware store?
Yes. A hardware store is an unsuspended service not available in your municipality that holds items needed to care for your home and continue daily life. Consequently, you can travel outside of your municipality to get the items you need from that store. Just use a self-declaration form when you travel.

Example B: Can I travel outside of my municipality to get to the base to get my mail?
Yes. Your APO mailbox and our mail service are an unsuspended service unavailable in your municipality, so you can travel to base to get your mail.

Example C: The grocery stores in my municipality do not carry tortilla chips. Can I travel outside of my municipality to get these chips?
No. While food is generally an item of necessity that would justify travel, obtaining a specific brand of food or style of non-essential item would not justify movement outside of your municipality.

Example D: My child has music lessons in a neighboring municipality, can I take my child to the lesson?
Yes. These services are not available with the child’s teacher in your municipality and are a part of childhood development and education. One parent can travel to a neighboring municipality to take the child to the lesson. The same would apply to attend lessons at a sports club at which the child is a member and the sport/individual lessons are currently permitted.

Visiting Others
From 26 April 2021 through 15 June 2021, four adults may travel once a day to the private home of non-cohabitants (who can also only receive four non-cohabitating guests per day). Travel must occur between 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. (including return home) and can only take place within your municipality of residence. Minors, disabled persons, and those who are not self-sufficient do not count toward the four-person maximum.

Curfew
Across Italy, a national curfew is in effect which prohibits movement between 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. every day. Between these hours, you may only leave your home for proven work needs, situations of necessity, or for health reasons.

Self-Declaration
You only need to use a self-declaration form to demonstrate justified travel between 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. or if traveling outside your municipality (or outside of the 30km radius for those that fit into the “small town” exception). 

The self-declaration form can be presented to law enforcement if stopped in one of the above circumstances, and an Italian and English version of the self-declaration form can be found here .

Note: The Italian version may be filled out in English. Complete the Italian version of the self-certification form (using the English version as a template) before traveling.
