When we asked expats and global nomads in Florence about their experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system, they replied...
"The healthcare system in Florence has been strained during the pandemic, with hospitals and clinics struggling to keep up with the influx of patients. Despite the challenges, the healthcare system has been doing its best to provide quality care to those in need. Appointments have been made available online, and the healthcare system has been quick to respond to any inquiries or concerns. The healthcare system has also been providing free testing for those who are at risk of contracting the virus. Overall, the healthcare system in Florence has been doing its best to provide quality care to those in need during this difficult time," wrote a member who made the move to Florence, Italy.

"I had multiple covid tests all efficiently and affordably executed. Lockdowns were serious and controlled. It helps to know the language. Things changed daily and often I was on my own to figure out the rules. It helps to belong to expat blogs," explained one expat living in Florence, Italy.
