The Minister for Health, Stephen Donnelly TD, has announced his intention to add an additional two States to the list of Designated States. People arriving into Ireland having been in or transited through these States in the previous 14 days must enter Mandatory Hotel Quarantine. 

The decision to add to the list of designated States was taken following advice received by the Chief Medical Officer. Passengers from these States that arrive in Ireland after 04.00 on Wednesday, 12 May are required to enter quarantine in a designated hotel. 

The additional countries to be added to the list are: Nepal and Anguilla.

Minister Donnelly is also revoking the designation in place for: Armenia, Aruba, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Curaçao, Italy, Jordan, Kosovo, Lebanon, North Macedonia and Ukraine. The revocations come into effect from today.

All travellers into Ireland must have a negative pre-departure test and those from non-designated countries must observe ‘Home Quarantine’.
