503. Deputy Cian O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Health if airline staff resident here and working from airports in the UK will be exempt from quarantine when they return from work to Ireland; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8984/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe public health advice for passengers coming to Ireland from overseas is to self-isolate for 14 days on arrival into the State, with exemptions for set categories of persons including supply chain workers and some others.
My Department, in close consultation with other relevant Departments, is developing proposals to strengthen the 14 days' self-isolation arrangements, and close consideration is being given to exempt categories from any legal requirement to self-isolate.
