The updated Green List from the Department of Foreign Affairs goes into effect tomorrow, with Germany and Poland removed from the “normal precautions” travel advisory.
This means that from midnight tonight, passengers arriving in Ireland from the airports of those two countries will have to restrict their movements for 14 days.
The old Green List included seven countries, but the new list has only four destinations. These are Cyprus, Finland, Latvia, and Liechtenstein.
Germany, Poland, Iceland and Lithuania have been eliminated. The Government now advises against all non-essential travel to those countries.
Some of the countries on the new Green List will not allow passengers from Ireland without meeting certain requirements. These are the following:
Cyprus – Passengers must have proof of a negative Covid-19 test result, performed within 72 hours prior to take-off, in order to enter Cyprus.
Latvia – all arrivals to Latvia must self-isolate for a period of 10 days if traveling from countries with an infection rate of more than 16 per 100,000 population (this includes Ireland).
Finland – You must have proof of a negative Covid-19 test result taken no more than 72 hours prior to arrival. You will be quarantined for 72 hours upon arrival. You then need to take another Covid-19 test and if it is negative, you can move freely.
Liechtenstein it has no airport.
The Department of Foreign Relations said the general advice remains that people should avoid non-essential travel, except to Green List countries, where the advice is to take normal precautions.
From now on, the list will be updated every Thursday and the changes will take effect the following Monday.
