The first «Covid-free» flight arrived from the US to Europe

The first «Covid-free» flight between the US and Europe arrived on Wednesday from New York to Rome.

All 100 Alitalia passengers were tested for COVID-19 48 hours before departure. Another one test was made on arrival in the Italian capital.

This allowed travelers to avoid the 14-day quarantine required for those arriving from the United States.

During the entire flight, passengers were required to wear protective masks, which they had to change every four hours.

The initiative to organize «Covid-free»  flights between the United States and Europe is aimed at opening air routes between the two shores of the Atlantic, blocked by the new coronavirus pandemic.
