Passengers arriving from Britain advised to take antigen tests for five days

The current requirement for all overseas passengers to have either a negative PCR or antigen test prior to travel will still apply.

Passengers travelling to Ireland from Britain will be advised to take an antigen test each day for five days upon their return, under new guidance issued by the Government this evening.

If the person returns a positive antigen test or experiences any symptoms they’re advised to isolate immediately and seek a PCR test.
