Will Italy drop the five day quarantine for Brits?

Trying to decide between the Caribbean or Tuscany. I’d prefer Tuscany because it’s a short flight. We are both fully vaccinated (pfizer).
Looking at late August. Only for a week, so 5 days quarantine would mean we’d go elsewhere.

We see that they currently have a 5 day quarantine for Brits because of Delta variant (fair enough). Does anyone have any insight on if they will drop this by August?

Italian hotels probably don’t ‘need’ Brits in August, as that’s when the Italians holiday.
The situation here looks to get far worse in terms of numbers, before it gets better, so the Italians aren’t likely to relax because of that.

Equally, the delta wave is now taking ground on mainland europe, so it is a matter of time before their cases shoot up. Whether or not they will keep measures relaxed or go rogue like the UK is another thing.

Anyway, do you think that they will allow in Brits without quarantine?

Our cases are rocketing in the UK :( I’m desperate to get to Italy, however I just don’t see them relaxing things for us any time soon x

Good news, the health minister in Italy has tweeted that they are dropping the 5 days quarantine from UK in September. Off to book flights now...

Great news!
I'll maybe fly past you in the other direction!
The govt announcement says it's for fully vaccinated and a negative test is also required but that brings it in line with most other EU countries I think.

I'm on holiday in Tuscany at the mo' and it's quite odd to be the only Brits around Grin
