Which is the equivalent of 270 cases here. So no real biggie.

This. One look at their infection graph and you can see this is an opening up blip. We'd expect to see the same here in a few weeks, before numbers fall again as we hit our vax numbers.

So by that logic, the countries that are behind the UK are far more at risk of a large wave of infection from the Indian variant. Just my idea but possibly opening up this international travel may not be the best idea at this time. Hopefully i am wrong.

Greece has been open for international travel for weeks now - Americans flooding in. Infection numbers are falling off a cliff (half what they were since opening to travel and still falling). International travel has little effect once people are vaxxed and tested.

So antigen tests are no good. Still at least no PCR required for vaxxed travellers. Some commonsense there.

Pricey for families with children though.

That's better than I hoped for. Was sure they'd go vaccine and a test

They Both can't be right. Second guy puts Antigen as equal to PCR

I read it as arrive with an antigen test and they'll make you take a PCR at the airport

In the second chart, if you arrive with an antigen test you have to do a PCR test on arrival. But still don't have to quarantine.

If you arrive with a PCR test you are free to go about your business.

No that's what's been given to journalists.

Arrive with an antigen test you'll have to take a PCR test on arrival

Fully vaccinated off you go on your way

Again, how does one use the DGC to prove they have recovered from a previous infection?

What’s the emergency brake in the chart?

Blood test that confirms the presence and levels of SARS- covid active antibodies .

So Will emergency brake apply for UK from July 19th??

Folks, I seen somewhere on here a link to a site where you can check what happens when you get off a plane in another EU destination......basically I need to know how one could check entry to say, Majorca for non residents, on July 19th! I’m sure o Leary will drop you off whether you can leave the airport or not so I’d like to be sure.

(Not losing sight of the fact that’s I know I’m being very optimistic and this situation could sh!t itself at a moments notice both at point of departure and at destination)

Re open eu app.

Anyone please clarify if we go to Spain I'm fully vaccinated do I need to self isolate on return from August?

Sorry if this has been covered already but I honestly haven't looked at any foreign travel stuff at all in the last year. My wife really wants to travel to her uncle's funeral in the UK on 24th June. If she flies return Dublin to London would she have to quarantine in a hotel when she gets back into Dublin? What about tests at either end?

If she has the MHQ could she from go Dublin to London and then back London to Belfast and we'll pick her up there?

She doesn't need to do hotel quarantine. She'll need to do at home quarantine and a negative test before arrival.

We're not opening up at this time, we're opening up in July. It's still May.

Thanks, so my understanding is that she won't need a PCR test going over but will need one prior to flying back.

Yes, exactly. Nothing required going over. Coming back, she'll need a negative PCR 72 hours before arrival into Ireland, and quarantine at home for 14 days, or another negative PCR after 5 days and end quarantine

Travel ban looks to be extended going on this evidence.

So Meehoel in his press conference states that Ireland is adopting the EU Digital Green Cert in full. Only thing is Meehoel...antigen allowed in EU and member states will be adopting from 1/7 not 19/7. So his idea of adopting in full is clearly different to everyone elses.

2.6m doses of the vaccine, adding about .3m a week. Very high vaccine rates of the 70+ age group and those deemed vulnerable. Flood gates aren’t opening tomorrow. It’s safe to reopen.

Is it all kids or only from the certain age? I didnt hear an age being mentioned but had read under 6 are exempt!

basill

ROI to Canaries/Alicante/Faro/Malaga with your antigen etc then return to Belfast. Show the government up how farcical this is. Will save a small fortune for a family avoiding the PCR test costs catching the bus or train back down. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if Ryanair start advertising a package with the Aircoach.

Yeah, think I saw 6 and under exempt. So 7-18

Where did you see this? Is there an endpoint to that requirement?
