Cyprus and Italy latest to drop Covid entry curbs

Cyprus and Italy are lifting all Covid entry curbs from tomorrow (June 1), permitting visitors restriction-free entry.

The two countries currently require vaccinated travellers to show proof they have been jabbed, and unvaccinated travellers to provide certification of a negative Covid test or proof of recovery.

But from June 1, those requirements will be removed, and people will be able to enter as they could prior to the pandemic.

Cyprus will continue to enforce social distancing measures between groups, and face masks will remain mandatory on buses and in taxis.

A spokesperson for Visit Cyprus said: “[From tomorrow] there are no restrictions for entry into the country. There are no restrictions on movement and travellers can enjoy all kinds of services and facilities across the destination without the need to present any health certificates.

“Enhanced health, safety and hygiene protocols have been devised for all hospitality establishments, cultural sites and entertainment venues, and extensive training of staff has taken place prior to the destination opening for visitors.”
