Red Zone: Regulations for Port of Civitavecchia Passengers

Updated 03/26/2021

From Monday the 15th of March until Easter most of Italy is in red or orange zone, with the exception of Sardinia (which is white). The government’s plan is to contain coronavirus infections.

In Italy's "red-zone" regions, such as Lazio, you are required to stay home except for work, health or other essential reasons. You also have to carry a self-declaration form explaining your reasons for move to a different place. 

We remind that the use of masks is mandatory in all public spaces, whether outdoors or indoors. Social distancing must be observed.
