The 2G rule has largely been in effect within Italy since Monday. This also includes local and long-distance public transport, including air and ferry connections. These may only be used by vaccinated and convalescent people.

In aviation, however, there is an exception that was negotiated shortly before it came into force: residents of islands and other remote regions are allowed to use the flight and ship connections even with a negative corona test. This is also a response to the fact that access to vaccinations is complicated, especially on smaller islands, and that many residents on the mainland or on larger islands have to be vaccinated.

For everyone else, including holidaymakers and business travelers, the 2G rule applies, regardless of whether you want to take the bus, train, subway or take a domestic flight within Italy. The airlines were officially instructed to check the EU certificates or other approved proof of vaccination or recovery at the latest before boarding. The minimum and maximum deadlines must also be observed.

Since Monday, the 2G proof has also been required for restaurants, ski lifts, hotels, convention centers and similar businesses. Both EU certificates issued in Italy and those from other EU countries and third countries with which an agreement is in place are recognized. The controls should be carried out by the staff of the respective company, whereby the executive should monitor compliance on a random basis.
