Five countries removed from Ireland's mandatory hotel quarantine list
All travellers into Ireland must have a negative pre-flight Covid-19 test.
FIVE STATES HAVE been removed from Ireland’s list of designated countries for mandatory hotel quarantine
These states are:
- Bermuda
- Iran
- Montenegro
- Palestine
- Serbia
Health Minister Stephen Donnelly made the announcement in a statement earlier this afternoon.
This means that travellers coming from these countries will not have to enter mandatory hotel quarantine.
The travellers are expected, however, to have a negative pre-flight test as well as complete “home quarantine” when they arrive.
There are now a total of 56 countries on Ireland’s designated list.
Last week, 12 countries were removed from the list, including Austria and Italy.
