Passengers arriving to the State, subject to very limited requirements, are required to complete a COVID-19 passenger locator form and to present evidence of a negative/not detected test for COVID-19 taken no more than 72 hours before arrival.

New substantial quarantine measures have been announced by Government which will require all international travellers to complete a period of mandatory quarantine upon arrival. The drafting of legislation to give effect to quarantine requirements, as well as new legislation on pre-departure testing and the COVID-19 Passenger Locator form are at an advanced stage.

 The Government continues to examine full operationalisation of travel measures announced on 26 January as matter of priority.  

Question No. 893 answered with Question No. 620.
