Ireland’s Covid-19 international travel restrictions are “appropriate” and should remain in place over the Christmas period, a National Public Health Emergency Team (Nphet) member has said.

Dr Mary Favier also said there had been a “fraying around the edges” in support for Level 5 Covid-19 restrictions and “complacency and fatigue” had set in among the public.
