Requirements
Fill the Digital Passengers Locator . This is mandatory and should be done prior to departure. See details for filling the form at the bottom of the page.
To enter Italy:
- From European Union - You need a complete vaccination pass of 3 shots (OR second shot in less than 6 month or certificate of infection and healing of less than 6 month + negative test.)
- From outside European Union - same conditions as EU + systematic negative test of less than 48 hours if PCR or 24 hours if antigenic. Self administrated tests are not accepted, you will need the official certificate.
- This applies to children from 12 years old on (as far as I could understand)
Random test controls can occur in public spaces, such as airports and affluence sites.
Even if not mandatory, we recommend you test yourself prior to departure.
To stay in the hotel as to attend the conference and use many other public facilities (bars, ski resort) you need a full vaccination pass or a certificate of infection and healing of less than 6 month. The list of recognised vaccines is available here. This means 3 shots or a second shot less than 6 month ago. If your vaccine is not recognised by EU, you will need to perform an antigenic test every other day. Please confirm your vaccination is authorised to enter Italy.
In transportation, namely in the conference bus, planes and ski gondolas, you will need a FFP2 mask or any other of recognised higher protection.
If you are tested positive during the meeting
You will need to self isolate
- for 7 days or until you have a negative test (if you have 2 doses of less than 120 days or 3 doses)
- for 10 days or until you have a negative test (if you have 2 doses of more than 120 days)
Contact your insurance (health insurance, travel insurance and personal insurance) prior to departure to know what is covered by them: extra stay at the hotel, medical exams, travelling back and plane changes, etc)
If you are in contact with a positive tested person (PTP) during the meeting
You are considered as a contact if you:
