Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 7 October 2020
224. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Health if he will review travel advice with NPHET in respect of Cambodia in view of the low Covid-19 rate and strict inbound travel regime in the country. [29011/20]
View answerClose consideration has been given by Government to Ireland's policy on overseas travel. It is anticipated that a common approach will shortly be agreed on intra-EU travel, a development I fully support. Discussions at EU level are ongoing to ensure the common approach achieves the right balance between coordination on travel and the public health concerns of Member States.
Until a common EU approach is in place, the Government Green List will continue to be published and updated weekly to ensure that the appropriate public health measures apply based on the assessed level of risk in the country a person has travelled from.
The Government's travel advisory for countries not on the Government Green list remains to avoid non-essential travel and passengers arriving from these countries are advised in the to restrict their movements for 14 days.
