Covid: Italy ends mask obligation on public transport

Nov 15, 2023

Date:

This means that Friday 30 September is the final day that FFP2 masks will be required on Italy's buses, trains, subways, trams and ferries, as one of Italy's last remaining covid restrictions comes to an end.

Despite the public transport regulations in place, in recent weeks it has become common in Rome to see commuters - both Italian residents and tourists - without masks on the metro and buses.

Meanwhile Italy's outgoing health minister Roberto Speranza has extended the requirement to wear masks in hospitals, care homes and healthcare facilities by one month, until 31 October.
