Ryanair has called on the Irish and UK governments to drop what it describes as "unimplementable and ineffective" 14 day quarantine measures aimed at controlling the spread of coronavirus.
The airline said such measures are now being scrapped in most other European countries in favour of face masks and social distancing. "14 day quarantines are ineffective and unimplementable.
Requiring international arrivals to quarantine only after they have used multiple public transport providers to get from the airport to their ultimate destination has no basis in science or medicine," said Michael O'Leary, chief executive of Ryanair Group in a statement.
