Arrivals from Israel, Albania and St Lucia no longer subject to mandatory hotel quarantine

Arrivals from Israel, Albania and St Lucia are no longer subject to mandatory hotel quarantine in Ireland.

The Health Minister Stephen Donnelly announced last night that the small number of people who've arrived here from these three states in recent days, can leave mandatory hotel quarantine as soon as they want.

From 4am on Thursday the US and Canada, as well as a number of EU countries including France, Belgium and Italy will be added to the mandatory hotel quarantine list
