Travel between regions, regardless of color, is prohibited from 6 March 2021 through 27 March 2021.

Example B:  I live in FVG, but I would like to go over to Veneto to have dinner at a restaurant. Can I do that?  No. Even if restaurants are open in the Veneto region, you can only leave the region where you live for work, necessity, in-person education, health needs, or to return home.

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

Examples

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.

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.

Exceptions

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

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.
