As Minister for Health I have welcomed engagement on approaches to travel across Europe, and I am particularly supportive of initiatives to strengthen the sharing and comparability of data to inform any coordinated approach across the EU.
Aligned to this work, my Department is reviewing testing strategies already in place in some European airports to inform its consideration of an effective testing regime related to travel that could be developed for this country. Once finalised, recommendations will be submitted to Government for review.
