Ireland may force people to isolate for 14 days after arriving in the country as part of tougher coronavirus measures, Prime Minister Leo Varadkar has said. The new legally-enforceable system would replace the current system where a 14-day quarantine is only advised. It comes after Boris Johnson announced similar rules for the UK, expected to come into force next month. Restrictions on entering Ireland would need to be in place 'at least until we have some kind of international agreement' on air travel, Varadkar said. Flights and ferry services continue to operate between the UK and Ireland, despite both countries advising against all-but essential travel.
