Austria and Italy are among 11 countries removed from Ireland’s mandatory hotel quarantine list with immediate effect. The countries from which travellers no longer have to spend two weeks quarantining in a hotel for two weeks are: Armenia, Aruba, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Curaçao, Italy, Jordan, Kosovo, Lebanon, North Macedonia and Ukraine. “The decision to add to the list of designated States was taken following advice received by the Chief Medical Officer,” Mr Donnelly said. All travellers into Ireland must have a negative pre-departure test and those from non-designated countries must quarantine at home for two weeks, the Department of Health said. More than 60 countries around the world are on the list.
