The Sardinia regional administrative court on Thursday suspended an order signed by Governor Christian Solinas making it obligatory for everyone arriving on the island to have a COVID-19 test.
The court upheld a petition from central government for the order to be suspended pending a definitive decision.
The court will examine the case on October 7.
However, the obligation to wear facemasks in enclosed public spaces and open-air areas where there is a risk of large groups of people forming remains.
