Alitalia and Airports of Rome have announced that, as of Tuesday December 8, all passengers traveling on one of the three weekly flights from and to New York must present a certification proving the negativity to Covid 19, carried out within 48 hours prior to the flight, or perform the antigen test directly at the airport before embarking. For those departing from the United States, upon arrival at Fiumicino they will be asked to perform a new antigen test; a double check that will exempt passengers from the quarantine obligation upon entry into Italy.
