Five Americans who attempted to enter Italy after flying on a private jet to the island of Sardinia were rejected because of the EU's coronavirus restrictions.
The EU has opened its borders to some countries, but the US has been excluded due to its high coronavirus rates.But local officials seemed to regret the rule's implications, claiming it could make the region look bad. Italy was once the worst-hit country but appears to have controlled its outbreak, while the US is still dealing with virus peaks. Five Americans were denied entry to Italy after flying from Colorado due to the European Union's ban on American visitors due to the US's high volume of coronavirus cases.CNN reported.But while applying the EU law, regional officials appeared to regret the effect for Americans. Flight durations from Colorado to Italy start at approximately 15 hours.
Gianni Cessa, the tourism head for the Sardinia region, said that he went to the airport "out of a sense of solidarity" with them.Screenshot/TGV Videolina/L'Unione SardaAnd Christian Salinas, Sardinia's governor, said that such stories that come have "inflicted grave damage to the international touristic credibility of our island and our sense of hospitality," according to Italian media reports translated by the AP.
Salinas had previously argued in favor of testing visitors to the island, which relies heavily on tourism, instead of banning them.But passengers from the US still have to quarantine for two weeks in the UK, which has left the EU, and it is not clear if the travellers disembarked from their plane there, according to CNN.
lol
The thing that money can’t buy when you are from a country that didn’t control covid- access to countries where yanky dollar would normally be welcome open arms . The rest of world shouldn’t have to wear the consequences for US not doing their part to control the spread
Trump supporters - no doubt.

The rich always think they are above the law. Not always.
The fact Italy is refusing people traveling from US is a known fact. For a few hundred extra bucks they could have at least taken a swab test and bring over their results in the PJ
😂
Hope they got a big REFUSED stamped in their passports before being sent back to sh*thole country.
Well why not ... if you own a private yet it does not come with other privileges I presume. If these people hold US passports
Good.
it's only fair consequences...
It’s hardly like Italy has no coronavirus cases, they just chose to stop recording cases
