Scottish holidaymakers hoping to jet off to Italy will now have to provide proof of a negative coronavirus test before hitting the airport.
The Italian Government has now introduced strict measures for tourists travelling into the country from any part of the UK amid rising coronavirus figures.
Those travelling to Italy will now need to take a test for Covid-19 72 hours before heading over - with proof of the test result coming back negative in order to enter Italy.
The popular tourist destination currently remains on the Scottish Government's quarantine exemption list - meaning Scots will not need to self-isolate for 14 days upon their return to Scotland.
However, The Foreign Office has urged travellers not to use the NHS testing service before jetting off abroad and some Italian airports will offer a free test upon arrival, or you can opt to get one at a facility in Italy.
However, the FCO warned: “If you test positive within Italy, you will be required to quarantine.
"The time spent in quarantine can vary greatly from a few days to several weeks. Travellers should be prepared for this eventuality.”
Italian health authorities recorded 3,678 new cases on Wednesday.
