Travellers from other countries wishing to enter Ireland will no longer be obliged to follow mandatory hotel quarantine requirements, as such a measure has been lifted by the Irish government.

According to the country’s Minister of Health, Stephen Donnelly, the quarantine requirement has been reduced progressively in the recent months, Schengen Visa Info reported.

“The mandatory hotel quarantine system was introduced as an exceptional public health measure at a time that our country was contending with the very serious risk of importation of variants of concern that had the potential to overwhelm our health service and, in particular, to undermine Ireland’s Covid-19 vaccination programme,” Donnelly pointed out in this regard, as reported by BTN Europe.

Travellers from other territories with high COVID-19 infection rates were obliged to pay for a 12-night stay from selected, designed hotels in Ireland.

For a 12-night stay, passengers were obliged to pay €1,875 (£1,614) per person; however, they could end their self-isolation period on the tenth day if they presented a negative result of the COVID-19 test.

He stressed that the most significant number of persons in mandatory hotel quarantines reached the highest number on 9, 2021, with 1,008 people accommodated in such designed places.

“The successful operation of mandatory hotel quarantine has played a central role in protecting the population, maintaining control of the disease, and enabling the safe relaxation of restrictions on our economy and society,” Donnelly pointed out in this regard.

Authorities in Ireland continue to oblige unvaccinated travellers reaching the country from outside the European Union and European Economic Area to undergo PCR test before travelling to Ireland, fill in the passenger locator form and follow the two weeks mandatory quarantine rule.
