The Government has announced that 18 more countries have been added to the mandatory hotel quarantine list for those entering Ireland.
The ‘category 2’ list will include 16 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, Austria and United Arab Emirates due to new variants.
Africa and Brazil are currently on the list – with legislation expected to be published next week.
People arriving from these countries must self-isolate for two weeks along with anyone landing without a negative PCR test.
