Confusion following COVID-19 testing rules for Maltese travellers to Sicily

Jul 16 2021

Sicilian authorities have confirmed that all those arriving to Sicily from Malta will be subject to COVID-19 testing upon arrival. Region president Nello Musumeci signed a decree on Wednesday, with Maltese travellers hoping for a quick visit to Malta’s neighbour being left confused following the alleged conflicting information. Anyone arriving to Sicily from Malta or who has visited Malta in the preceding 14 days will be subject to testing, even if they have been fully vaccinated and possess a certificate or green pass.

These rules apply to Italian citizens as well as people residing in Sicily. However, a spokesperson for the Italian embassy contradicted the information, stating that the new rules would subject unvaccinated travellers to the possibility of getting tested. Maltese travellers who arrived in Sicily this morning reported that none of them were asked to submit to testing once they showed their vaccination certificate. No tests are therefore, allegedly, needed.

Problems to download jab certificates reported by fully vaccinated people

Jul 16 2021

Despite the vaccination certificate having become crucial for travel, many fully vaccinated people are reporting facing problems when trying to download their own certificate. With more than 237,790 certificates downloaded, 25% of those eligible to access the certificate have not yet downloaded their version. Many are reporting persistent problems, with the health ministry claiming that most problems have to do with verification of information issues.

Most are told to email [email protected], but many are also reporting the lack of replies. This poses problems to many awaiting their date of travel as COVID-19 vaccine certificates have become mandatory for travel. Parents have also expressed concern in regards to downloading their children’s certificate given that they do not possess ID cards.
