The health minister has announced that two more countries have been added to the mandatory hotel quarantine list.

It means passengers on direct flights from Nepal and Anguilla, or who have travelled through these countries in the last two weeks, will have to stay in a hotel for 14 days in isolation when they arrive in Ireland.
