View answerThe Government is continually giving consideration to travel policy informed by the epidemiological situation internationally and public health advice, including regarding recovered patients.
At present, Canada is a designated state for the purposes of mandatory hotel quarantine. A person travelling from Canada is required upon arrival to Ireland to present evidence of a completed COVID-19 Passenger Locator Form, to present evidence of a negative / non-detected pre-departure RT-PCR test taken within 72 hours of arrival and to observe mandatory quarantine in a designated facility.
