Delta and its KLM partners will be flying to Amsterdam quarantine free. You take a test before you go and a rapid test on arrival. You may then visit The Netherlands quarantine free. (if I have this right). My question is does it work the other way? In spite of the travel ban, may Dutch people now come here under the same conditions?
There is no mandatory quarantine requirement in the USA (except for Hawaii). So all arrivals already can skip quarantine.
Travel bans have nothing to do with quarantine. This changes nothing about the ability to enter any country.

DL extending COVID corridor flights to Italy
Italy Covid-Tested Flight (delta.com)
This all sounds great, but when Italy is in lockdown it will not do you much good unless you want to sit in your hotel room 24/7 while in Italy. Hopefully the lockdown will be lifted soon so that travelers can use the benefits of this offering. I had to cancel my trip to FCO over Easter due to the lockdown. It would be nice for DL to extend this offering to other major destinations around the world to boost international travel.

I think lockdown is going to continue it Italy and a lot of other countries for some time to come. I spoke with a friend in Rome on Sunday and they are back to where they were at the worst time of Covid. He said the Italian government is predicting that no more than 50% of the population will be vaccinated by December 31, 2021. Europe has a long way to go on this.

Before folks go out to book flights to Italy, the existing EU border closure for Americans is still in effect. These Covid corridor flights only exempt travellers who are allowed to enter Italy from quarantine on arrival in Italy.

As with all international travel and having nothing to do with the pandemic or Italy, always check TIMATIC.
The pandemic means being even more careful as requirements change regularly.

Covid Tested Flight to Italy
1. Is the Abbott ID Now Molecular PCR test acceptable ATL to FCO?
2. Delta's website contradicts itself about when the test needs to be done. On My trips page it says 72 hours from arrival in Rome. When I hit the "click here" for more information it says 72 hours from departure. I have asked Delta twice. First person said before arrival, second person said before departure......
Atlanta (ATL) to Rome (FCO) DeparturesThe COVID-19 PCR test must be within 72 hours of the scheduled departure time. We recommend that customers arrive at the airport 3 hours prior to departure.
Any information would be greatly appreciated. I did not have much luck on the web.

If what you have been told is true, there must be some very special circumstances in Italy, most EU countries will be above 50% of the total population by July. Some countries should even be more or less done, like Denmark and Malta. Italy should be done giving everyone their second shot months before December for sure.

I wouldn’t pin my hopes on July for Europe... things here simply do not move at American or U.K. speed- they have been painfully slow. It’s not just an issue of supply, it’s also one of poor distribution. And given that both countries are experiencing an explosion of new cases I would not expect Europe open for some time. Borders across Europe are closed so first that has to open way before extra EU will open. It’s going to be more than 3 months.

Grazie all’effettuazione di un test antigenico rapido direttamente in aeroporto negli USA ovvero la presentazione di un certificato negativo di test molecolare PCR oppure antigenico fatto nelle 48 ore prima della partenza e di un secondo test all’arrivo a Roma-Fiumicino nelle strutture già predisposte
Completing an antigen test directly in the airport in the US or presenting a certificate showing a negative PCR or antigen test 48 hours before DEPARTURE and a second on arrival into Fiumicino
And the Italian embassy in Washington (in English) same reading
