Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted April 13, 2022 #1 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Italy apparently has some strict mask guidelines. I've seen reference to "FFP2" masks as well as "N95". What is required? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euro cruiser Posted April 13, 2022 #2 Share Posted April 13, 2022 The K 95/KN 95 masks in the States are equivalent to the FFP2 in Italy. The rules are gradually being relaxed but they are still required right now. You can read more here: COVID-19 (italia.it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennie313 Posted June 7, 2022 #3 Share Posted June 7, 2022 So...just to be clear (because I can be dense sometimes), we are ok to use KN95 masks, as they are equivalent to FFP2? Or we need to specifically use FFP2 masks? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or we need to specifically use FFP2 masks? Thank you Yes, use KN95. KN95 = FFP2. The mandate ends June 15, but they will still be required in health care settings, like a pharmacy. Don't overthink it. It is no big deal to bring a few masks. Wear them if you are asked to. Wear them if you need them, like if there is someone with a really bad cold sitting next to you in the airplane. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trotzoll Posted June 23, 2022 #5 Share Posted June 23, 2022 We just got back from Italy last week. It is posted that you must wear a KN95/FFP2 mask, however, very few people wore them. Some wore no masks at all, others had just a regular mask. Personally, I would take a couple of KN95 masks, but also take masks that are more comfortable to wear. Other than the flight over, we did not use our KN95 masks...and on the flight back, we wore just our regular masks as did most people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare steamboats Posted June 24, 2022 #6 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Masks are only mandatory in public transportation in Italy. There you need an KN95/FFP2. This has been prolonged until the end of September. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CK57 Posted June 24, 2022 #7 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Do private tours get included into "public transportation"? Can you tell me if the restrictions are still in place that cap passenger counts to six persons in the private tours that use the vans? Tour operators used to cap at 8, but I was told earlier this year rules were put in place limiting to 6 persons. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
