The Government position is clear: avoid non-essential travel overseas.

Passengers arriving to Ireland are legally required to complete a COVID-19 Passenger Locator Form. The information provided on the form may be used to assist with contact tracing in the event that there is a suspected or confirmed case on board a flight or ferry.

Passengers arriving to Ireland from overseas are advised in the interest of public health to self-isolate for 14 days.

There is ongoing and close Government consideration to putting in place possible additional measures, including at points of entry into the country, in addition to the measures already in place.
