Air Canada launches COVID-tested flights between Canada and Italy

Air Canada just announced that it will operate COVID-tested flights to Rome from Toronto and Montreal, giving cooped up Canadians the chance to escape to Europe and experience a little la dolce vita this summer. The move also gives US travelers access to a broader selection of COVID-tested routes to Italy. Air Canada's COVID-tested flights to Italy are scheduled to take off starting July 2. Travelers will need to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken within 48 hours of their departure from Canada. They'll also have to take another test upon landing in Italy, but will not be required to isolate or participate in health monitoring programs if they test negative. Passengers who test positive prior to departure won't be allowed to board. They will, however, be entitled to a refund — within two weeks — or voucher for future travel.<br/>
