DUBLIN, June 13 —The Irish government is considering increasing quarantine requirements for unvaccinated travellers from Britain, Foreign Minister Simon Coveney said today, citing concern over the Delta variant of Covid-19.
Currently travellers from Britain must self-quarantine but can move freely once they obtain a negative Covid-19 test no less than five days after arrival.
Asked in an interview with RTE radio whether the measures to be considered by the government in the coming days would include a longer quarantine for British travellers, Coveney said: “Potentially, yes, particularly for people who aren’t vaccinated.” — Reuters
