Since midnight, traveling between Italy and Austria and vice versa has been largely normal again. People who have been vaccinated, recovered, or tested can travel between the two states without quarantine.

Austria's Minister of Health, Wolfgang Mückstein, said: “Due to the decline in the number of infections in many European countries and the joint progress in vaccination, we are able to give people more freedom to travel. It is a good sign that the borders within Europe are gradually reopening. From Wednesday, it will be possible to travel from Italy to Austria without mandatory quarantine if there is a negative test result, proof of vaccination or proof of recovery. This means that the long-awaited cross-border exchange can take place again in the future - regardless of whether it is family visits or trips and excursions. I'm particularly pleased. "
