Italy has confirmed that unrestricted travel between regions can resume from 3 June as planned, the same day that the country reopens all airports in preparation for a gradual return to international tourism.
The confirmation, announced last weekend by Italian health minister Roberto Speranza, comes after the government reviewed the latest regional statistics relating to the Covid crisis.
The report described the current situation as “positive overall” but warned that there are “still signs of transmission” and “new hotspots”, urging strict compliance to Italy’s anti-contagion measures in place, including social distancing.
Friuli Venezia Giulia is a unique region as it borders the Italian region of Veneto and two countries: Austria and Slovenia. While it is allowed to travel to Veneto region from today on without any restrictions, Austria is not going to allow Italian tourists until July and Slovenia hasn’t set the official date of the opening of borders yet.
