Passengers over 6 travelling to Italy from Tunisia must present a health pass, as of March 1, national carrier Tunisair announced on Tuesday.

This measure follows the latest decision of the Italian authorities and its subsequent restrictions.

This pass consists of a complete vaccination recognised by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), or a certificate of recovery dating back to less than 6 months or a negative antigenic test carried out less than 24 hours old or a PCR test less than 72 hours old.

As for the vaccination, it is valid for six months after the second dose and with no time limit after the third dose.
