Travelling to Italy | Summer 2021 | EU Digital Locator FORM

Currently all clients traveling to Italy have to fill out an European Digital Passenger Locator Form.

What is the European Digital Passenger Locator Form (dPLF) ?

Passenger
Locator Forms (PLFs) are used by public health authorities to
facilitate contact tracing in case travelers are exposed to an
infectious disease during their travel by plane, ship (cruise/ferry),
rail, bus or automobile. Information that travelers provide in PLFs can
be used by public health authorities in destination countries to rapidly
contact travelers, with the goal of protecting the health of travelers’
and their contacts, as well as preventing further disease spread.

Countries
that require completion of PLF are currently using paper-based
passenger locator forms or have developed national online systems. In
light of the COVID-19 pandemic, a web application for a European Digital
Passenger Locator Form (dPLF) was developed to facilitate the use of
PLFs during cross-border health threats. This digital format will allow
for easier and more rapid data collection and exchange between
stakeholders, making contact tracing more effective and efficient.

In
the future, travelers entering a country that choose to use the
European dPLF web application through air, maritime (cruise or ferry),
or land (train, bus, car) transport means may be asked to complete a
digital Passenger Locator Form for their travel using the European dPLF
web application.
Who has to complete the digital Passenger Locator Form?

In
case a family is traveling together, only one member of the family will
have to complete the dPLF. The details of the rest of the family
members should then be included in this dPLF. The same applies to groups
traveling together. Only one person from the group should complete the
dPLF and the details of the rest of the group members should then be
included in this dPLF. Note that this applies only to families and
groups of people that will take part in the same activities and stay at
the same place during their visit to the destination country.
