Italy's tourism industry can breathe again this week. Italy is stepping up efforts to restore the normality lost in early March, when it imposed a nationwide lockdown. This week, the Council of Ministers decided that regions whose data show the situation is under control may allow people to enter and leave from other European countries from 3 June. The decree stresses that travel from abroad will be limited only by measures imposed by other countries and “with compliance with restrictions arising from the regulation of the European Union and international obligations”.

As of June 3, the Italian government will reopen its borders to European Union travellers, cancelling the 14-day mandatory quarantine for foreign visitors.

After a wave of infections, South Korea was able to significantly reduce the number of new cases of Covid-19, while maintaining a relatively low mortality rate. The country has attracted attention for a strategy combining public information, community participation and a mass testing campaign.

South Korea carried out more tests than any other country, allowing it to tackle outbreaks very early

In the same spirit of public participation, everyone arriving in South Korea, regardless of where they come from, will be subject to “special procedures” (quarantine).
