People who are vaccinated against COVID-19, have antibodies or test negative will be able to travel to Italy in time for its summer season, Tourism Minister Harry Theocharis said on Tuesday, according to Reuters.
The report added that Italy is aiming to kick off its summer season by mid-June; Theocharis made the announcement as he addressed the ITB Berlin trade show from the Athens Acropolis Museum. A representative for Kalesma Mykonos tells Travel Agent that the country is specifically looking at June 14th for its reopening.
To prepare for the reopening, Theocharis said Italian authorities would prioritize the vaccination of those in the hospitality sector once the most vulnerable populations were vaccinated. Frequent testing of employees will also be mandated, he added.
Currently, only residents from the European Union, along with travelers from Australia, New Zealand, Rwanda, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates may enter Italy—and all of them must enter quarantine for seven days upon arrival. Negative test results are required and must be taken with 72 hours of departure (excluding children under 10). Travelers must also fill out ahead of time a Passenger Locator Form.
Recently, the European Travel Commission proposed to introduce a common, interoperable and mutually recognized Digital Green Certificate, which would be proof that a person has been vaccinated against COVID-19, has recovered from the virus or has a negative test result. The New York Times reports that Italy is one of the countries leading the charge for a vaccination certificate to be implemented.

whale spotted in illinois river
A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri.
While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
