Normalization of travel in Italy could start in first part of June - minister

Normalization of travel across Italy may start in the first part of June, providing the coronavirus contagion is under control, Transport Minister Paola De Micheli said on Monday.

After a lockdown of eight weeks, Italy started to ease movement restrictions on May 4 but travel across the country’s regions is still only allowed if strictly necessary.

The travel curbs have cut motorway traffic to a trickle, impacting the business of motorway operators including Autostrade per l’Italia, the tollroad unit of infrastructure group Atlantia.

The government could consider easing social distancing rule inside aircraft depending on a positive assessment by the scientific committee advising the government.
