Article 4

Provisions for entry into Italy

1. In order to counteract the spread of the COVID-19 epidemiological emergency, anyone wishing to enter
Italian national territory by air, sea, lake, rail or land must submit a declaration to their transportation carrier
upon embarking, which is required for access. This is to be done pursuant to Articles 46 and 47 of the
decree by the President of the Republic of 28 December 2000, No. 445, which also indicates in a clear and
detailed way that transport carriers or ship operators may additionally verify the following:

a) reasons for travel, as in compliance with the provisions of Article 1, paragraphs 4 and 5 of Decree-
Law No. 33 of 2020 and Article 6 of the current decree;

b) the full address of a passenger's dwelling or residence in Italy where the health surveillance and
self-isolation period referred to in paragraph 3 will be carried out and the private or other means used
to reach that location;

c) a mobile or other telephone number where the passenger can receive communications during their
entire health surveillance and self-isolation period.

2. Carriers and shipowners will obtain and verify the documentation referred to in paragraph 1 before a
passenger may board. They will also take the temperature of passengers and prohibit boarding to anyone
who has a fever or incomplete documentation. Transport carriers are also required to take organisational
measures in accordance with the indications set out in the “Shared regulatory protocol for limiting the
spread of COVID-19 infection in the transport and logistics sector” signed on 20 March 2020 (see Annex
14), as well as the "Informational guidelines for users and organisational arrangements for limiting the
spread of COVID-19 infection" (see Annex 15). The measures taken should also assure an interpersonal
distance of at least one metre between passengers at all times during travel. They should additionally
specify the use of personal protective equipment by crew and passengers as well as indicate the temporary
or exceptional circumstance in which this protection may be removed. Air carriers shall equip passengers
with personal protective equipment upon embarking.

3. Persons entering Italy, in the manner indicated in paragraph 1, are required to immediately notify the
Department of Prevention of the local health authority even if they are asymptomatic. This is because they
are still subject to a 14-day health surveillance and self-isolation period at the dwelling or residence
indicated at the outset of travel in accordance with paragraph 1, letter b. In the event COVID-19 symptoms
occur, these individuals are obliged to promptly report this to the Health Authorities by using the specially
dedicated telephone numbers to do so.

4. With regard to the individuals referred to in paragraph 3 above, they may be unable to travel onward to
their final destination by private means from their arrival point in Italy. They may thus, be unable to reach
the residence or dwelling indicated upon departure or where their health surveillance and self-isolation
period should occur. In this instance, it is understood that the Legal Authorities may verify any false
declarations made at the time of departure pursuant to paragraph 1, letter b. The local territorial health
authority will then also immediately inform the Regional Civil Protection Agency. The latter, in
cooperation with the Department of Civil Protection of the Prime Minister's Office (Presidenza del
Consiglio dei Ministri) will then determine the place and means where the health surveillance and self-

1
isolation should occur. Costs will be borne by the person(s) subject to these measures. In the event
COVID-19 symptoms occur, these individuals are obliged to promptly report this to the Health Authorities
by using the specially dedicated telephone numbers to do so.

5. The provisions of Article 1, paragraphs 4 and 5 of Decree-Law No. 33 of 2020 remain in place as well
as Article 6 of the present decree. Natural persons entering Italy by private means, even if asymptomatic,
are required to immediately communicate their entrance into the country to the Department of Prevention
of the local health authority where their period of health surveillance and self-isolation will take place.
They are subsequently subject to a 14-day surveillance and isolation period at the dwelling or residence
indicated in the same communication. In the event COVID-19 symptoms occur, these individuals are
obliged to promptly report this to the Health Authorities by using the specially dedicated telephone
numbers to do so.

6. With regard to the individuals referred to in paragraph 5, or when it is not possible to reach the dwelling
or residence indicated as the location for the health surveillance and self-isolation period, the natural
persons involved must communicate their situation to the local territorial health authority. The health
authority will then immediately inform the Regional Civil Protection Agency who, in coordination with
the Department of Civil Protection of the Prime Minister's Office, will determine the means and location
where health surveillance and self-isolation may occur. The persons subject to these procedures will be
held exclusively responsible for the associated expenses.

7. During the period of health surveillance and self-isolation carried out in accordance with the previous
paragraphs, the persons involved may undertake a new period of health surveillance and self-isolation at
another dwelling or residence, different from that previously indicated to the health Authorities. They can
do this by retransmitting the same declaration provided for under paragraph 1 letter b. They also need to
indicate the travel route to be taken and guarantee that travel to the new dwelling or residence will be done
by the means stipulated pursuant to letter b. Having received the communication referred to in the previous
paragraph, the Health Authority will immediately forward it to Department of Prevention of the local
territorial health authority at the indicated destination, which will then be responsible for undertaking
checks and verifications. These procedures, of course, do not apply to individuals who may develop
COVID-19 symptoms.

8. Based on the communications referred to in this Article, the public health operator and the local
territorial health services may prescribe a stay-at-home order in accordance with the following procedures:

a) they will contact the individual by telephone and collect as much detailed and documented
information as possible about the individual's areas of stay and trip route during the preceding 14 days.
This is done to adequately assess the individual's exposure to risk;

b) once health surveillance and self-isolation begins, the public health operator will also inform the
patient's general practitioner or paediatrician of choice. They will also follow up with the later
regarding a possible INPS (Istituto Nazionale della Previdenza Sociale - National Social Welfare
Institute) certification (INPS HERMES Circular, 0000716 of 25 February 2020);
c) in the event an INPS certification is needed due to a work absence, a statement will be issued and
addressed to the INPS, the employer and general practitioner or paediatrician of choice. This statement
will note the individual has been placed in precautionary quarantine for public health reasons and
specify a quarantine start and end date;
d) the presence of any fever or other symptomatology will be ascertained in the person to be isolated
as well as for any other cohabitants involved;

2
e) the person will be informed about the symptoms, the nature of the infection, its transmission
mechanisms and the measures that need to be taken to protect any cohabitants in the event symptoms
appear;

f) the person will be informed about the need to measure body temperature twice a day (in the morning
and in the evening), as well as to:

1) maintain self-isolation for 14 days after the last exposure;

2) not have any social contacts;

3) not undertake any movements or travel;

4) the obligation of remaining accessible for surveillance activities.

g) In the event symptoms occur, the person under surveillance must:

1) immediately notify their general practitioner or paediatrician of choice and the public health
operator;

2) wear a surgical mask (to be provided at the start of the self-isolation period) and keep away from
other cohabitants;

3) stay in their room with the door closed, while ensuring adequate natural ventilation and awaiting
possible transfer to the hospital.

h) The public health operator shall be in daily contact to collect information on the health condition of
the person under surveillance. In the event symptoms occur, and after consulting the general
practitioner or paediatrician of choice, the public health practitioner shall proceed in accordance with
the provisions of Circular No. 5443 by the Ministry of Health of 22 February 2020, as subsequently
amended or supplemented.

9. The provisions of paragraphs 1 to 8 do not apply to:

a) transportation crews;

b) other transport sector workers;

c) citizens and residents entering Italy for proven work reasons from: the European Union; Schengen
Agreement countries; Andorra; the Principality of Monaco; the Republic of San Marino; the Vatican
City State; and the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland;

d) health personnel entering Italy to work in the health sector, including temporarily or as referred to
in Article 13 of Decree-Law No.18 of 17 March 2020;

e) cross-border workers entering and leaving the national territory for proven work reasons or
returning to their residence, home or dwelling;

f) employees of businesses or entities with registered or secondary offices in Italy who travel abroad
for 120 hours or less for proven work reasons;

g) movements to and from the Republic of San Marino or the Vatican City State;

h) officials and agents, however called, of the European Union or of international organisations,
diplomatic agents, administrative and technical staff of diplomatic missions, officials and consular

employees or military personnel on active duty;

i) students studying in a State other than that where their residence or dwelling is located and who
commute home daily or at least once a week.

10. Exceptions may be considered only to protect citizens abroad and to fulfil international and European
obligations. These include those resulting from the implementation of the (EU) Council Directive
2015/637 of 20 April 2015, which repeals Decision 95/553/EC and involves coordinating and cooperative
measures for facilitating the consular protection of EU citizens who are not represented in third-party
countries. Further, with the decree by the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, based on the proposal
by the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, and in conjunction with the Minister of Health,
specific and temporary exceptions to the provisions of this Article may be foreseen.
