The opening of the border comes as a surprise: in Lombardy in the north, where the virus has raged the most, the authorities counted a good 20,000 people currently infected on Tuesday. For this reason, some regional presidents would have liked to delay the travel approval for Lombardy.

Everyday life is slowly returning despite the corona pandemic – albeit slowly. After countries around the world have sealed themselves off and the borders have been closed, some are now beginning to open them again. Among other things, the Swiss borders with Germany, Austria and France will be reopened by June 15 at the latest. The four countries agreed on this in a telephone call.

It is too long for the Italians: they have already opened the border again today. After around three months with strict corona restrictions, people from the other 26 EU countries as well as from the UK, Norway and Switzerland can travel to Italy. Italians, however, are not yet allowed to enter Switzerland.

Regional Presidents wanted to maintain travel clearance for Lombardy
It is primarily due to the economy that the Italians open their borders to tourists. Tourism accounts for around 15 percent of economic output. But if you travel to Italy, you still have to be prepared for strict measures. Masks are still required in certain regions of the country. There are also strict hygiene regulations on the beaches. After all, there is no quarantine of two weeks.

The regions in Italy are affected to different extents: in Lombardy, where the virus has raged the most, the authorities counted a good 20,000 people currently infected on Tuesday. In other regions there are only a few: in Umbria 31, in Basilicata 24 and in Aosta Valley just 13 cases. For this reason, some regional presidents would like to delay the travel approval for Lombardy. (sib)
