Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Rapid Antigen Testing: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Tony Holohan:

We think that the arrangements that will apply from then, with the certification that will support them, will allow people who are vaccinated and the people who have had the disease, so will have PCR evidence of having had the disease within the last nine months, which will be a lot of people being enabled to travel safely. They will have to think about where they are going. They will have to think about how to minimise the risk while they are travelling. They will have to think about how to comply with the appropriate public health guidance in the places that they are travelling to. These are all the standard precautions that we will continue to advise. Yes, we are looking forward to the resumption of that travel from then without recourse or need for any form of testing.
