Beginning on June 3, all visitors will be allowed back into the country and will no longer be obliged to self-isolate.
Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte enforced an economically-crippling shutdown in early March to counter a global pandemic which official records show has killed over 31,500 people in the country.The shutdown has effectively ended all holidaymaking in a country heavily dependent on the tourism industry.
Italians will also be able to move between regions, though local authorities can limit travel in specific areas if infection numbers spike. The peak of Italy's contagion passed at the end of March, but with officials warning a second wave cannot be ruled out, Conte had been reluctant to lift the lockdown quickly.
Italy's restaurants, bars and hairdressers are being allowed to reopen on Monday, two weeks earlier than initially planned. Shops will also open and Italians will finally be able to see friends, as long as they live within their same region.
