Simon Coveney: US not on travel 'green list', UK unlikely to make the cut

Simon Coveney: Travelling to countries on the green list represents no greater risk than going to Kerry or Donegal. File Picture.

The United States  will not be on the Government's travel "green list" to be published on Monday, and Minister for Foreign Affairs, Simon Coveney, has indicated that the United Kingdom is also unlikely to make the cut.

The list of safe-travel countries will mean visitors from those nations will not be required to restrict their movements for 14 days on arrival, whereas those arriving from other countries will have to.
