Arrivals in Ireland will have to fill in form saying where they will isolate for 14 days

The Covid-19 Public Health Passenger Locator Form is already in use but has now been placed on a mandatory footing following a meeting of Cabinet.

"Extraordinary measure" will help with contact tracing, says Harris.

From next Thursday onwards, any person coming to Ireland from abroad will now be legally required to fill out a form telling authorities where they will be self-isolating for 14 days.
