Is Quarantine being enforced?

This useless quarintine should be relaxed asap

3 planes of yanks arriving tomorrow morning as flights between the US and Ireland resume. How the fcuk can anyone justify opening the routes to that basket case is anyones guess. Little old Ireland doffing the cap again. Months of sacrifice down the sh1tter for nothing.

It wasn't enforced in Melbourne seemingly.
Visitors had to isolate for 10/14 days under security. The only problem was some took being under a security man literally and the security men are spreading covid19 after being in ' close contact ' with their, presumably female,charges.

I have reason to be in UK for 2 or 3 days later this year


Would it be possible to get tested upon return and in theory then at least,not need to quarantine (assuming all OK result wise??)

You would still need to quarantine to be sure. It takes some time between exposure to SARS-CoV-2 and potentially testing positive. The virus’s incubation period is around 5 to 7 days, but it can be up to 14 days.

Testing immediately on your return could result in a false negative result if you were in the early days of developing CoViD-19 but had not yet developed a high enough viral load to test positive.

I'l be home in 2 weeks I'l add my situation. I took parental Leave so my employer knew I was out of the country.I was working From home (onsite 27th) I told them I am back from holidays today, so they can't make me quarantine when my onsite work return's in 2 weeks.

If the government quarantine is still in place for select countries, I'l return via a country on the green list.

I will take the same precautions as I would in Ireland. I won't get covid19, anyone who thinks I will, traveling from a county with fewer cases per Million then Ireland is delusional. Keep drinking the kool aid.

You do not have to quarantine, it is strongly recomended but not mandatory.

Hi,

I'm flying into Ireland for a cycling trip and understand there are rules with regards to quarantine.

Has anyone any experience to share about whether its actually been enforced or not? It's a short trip so there is no time for quarantine and we won't be mixing with other people.

We intend staying in same county once we reach our destination.

Thanks in advance.

Are you the kind of person that arrives at their neighbours house and rubs their muddy boots on the new cream sofa?

I’m not even slightly joking when I say I hope you picked up the virus on your way home, because you absolutely deserve to.

Jesus the wanton and selfish ignorance some people are capable of displaying during this is astounding

Just back in Sweden. We flew Stockholm to Dublin and had to complete a form with address we were staying etc at Dublin airport. I used my parents address in Dublin and we went to Galway.

Why did you give the wrong address as a matter of interest? You deliberately lied on the form, which is actually an offence. You and your group also potentially hampered contact tracing efforts, that's the whole point of providing accurate information on the form. And you are freely bragging about this here? Mind boggling decision-making from you.

Not mind boggling at all, just malicious selfishness, they openly only cared about getting caught disobeying quarantine and not that their actions could potentially fatally harm others. Its really quite disgusting.

Once a person starts jumping countries contact tracing goes out the window , it's Abit selfish of the OP travelling but these posts are a Abit of an overreaction ,

But if the gov allows travel and allows people with no questions asked to roam freely then it's not the OP you all should be shouting at perhaps the elected that are allowing it to happen.

It's usually around now that Irish living abroad start to save and think about flights and accommodation in Ireland in order to spend Christmas with family. But will we be able to receive our relatives this year?
Will it all depend on where they're coming from?
Is it too early to say?
What will Christmas look like this year?

I'm just checking my crystal ball...........



I'll get back to you when something comes through.

A Vaccine by Christmas 2021 maybe....

The current guidelines are Isolate for 2 weeks when arrives these are in place for another week. May be extended ( as they were recently)
If removed and covid situation stay same until December would be able fly from over seas without isolating.
If guidelines remain as are now you must get a place to isolate for 2 weeks prior to commencing your visit.
Flights are operating it just the guidelines on what you do on arrival which may change and as media are currently reporting people not currently adhering to isolation guidelines

Far too early to say.

The situation and rules around this could change any time between now and then - it could be outlined well in advance, it could be at a moment's notice. Impossible to say.

12 pubs with 12 substantial meals will be tough but I'm willing to make that sacrifice

As an Irish citizen abroad the hostility is pretty depressing. Stay away diaspora...

If wherever they are is on the "green list" and we still have quarantine requirements they can come back without having top quarantine. If it's not they will be required whatever quarantine rules are in place. And of course it works both ways if someone wished to visit someone overseas - it all depends on the "rules" at the time in the destination country, which could change at any time

A move I don't agree with. I set up the thread specifically to discuss how we are going to tackle Christmas if there is no vaccine and people wanting to spend it with their Irish families. Usually the seeds of saving for travel in December get sown about now. What is Christmas 2020 going to look like?

So sad to hear eejits like this not only flaunt the restrictions but also come to infect people in my beloved Galway.
You were not welcome.

No. Totally incorrect. There is no quarantine,you're simply asked to "restrict your movements" which is basically up to your own interpretation. And to answer the first question asked, no, nothing is being enforced.

This ridiculous advisory has nothing to do with safety. There is nothing to stop anyone getting off the plane and going straight to a house party or anything involving crowds of people. What it is doing is bullying, shaming and frightening people and enabling employers and the State to save a nice sum by withholding the payment of incomes for the 14 days.Not to mention the damage to the economy and the amount of livelihoods in jeopardy

Ryanair are dead right to take legal action over this, I'm with them all the way.

The only problem you'll have is work. You won't be allowed go in for 14 days. Well it's my employers policy for visiting red list countries.
