Certain parts of Italy require travellers to send health and registration forms prior to arrival. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\ude37 While in Portugal, Luxembourg, Poland, Germany, France &amp; Spain it is mandatory to wear a face mask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If travelling abroad this year doesn\u2019t appeal to you, a staycation in Ireland could be on the cards? With the Government re-jigging the phased re-opening of the country, hotels look set to open at the end of the month, and there\u2019s talk of a \u20ac500 staycation incentive from the Government too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ireland has so many beautiful places to visit it should definitely be considered as an option!
