will no longer need to quarantine or only stay for five days, a festival spokesperson has confirmed to us.
The festival told us today: “A journalist coming from UK can stay in Italy longer than 5 days without isolating, providing they come for working reasons . They must to be resident in the UK.” The festival confirmed to us that the dispensation also extends to all UK resident industry guests working at the event.
The festival told us that it came to the understanding after poring over “pages and pages” of detail about the rules and having the dispensation confirmed by local health authorities.The festival told us last week that it wouldn’t be getting any quarantine dispensation for Brit arrivals but the event has seemingly found a loophole in the guidance.
Italy is due to update its travel rules on August 30 but most travel to the country currently requires quarantine.Venice President Roberto Cicutto said last month that he hopes the festival “could be more relaxed” with its Covid protocols this year but acknowledged that the current restrictions don’t reflect that.The Green Pass should allow us to be safer,” he commented, “What we are experiencing now is a great interest and desire to be here. There will be an increased presence from press.
