The Tanáiste Leo Varadkar has said the Government's travel green list will not be updated until the publication of the medium term roadmap on dealing with Covid-19 later this month.
Mr Varadkar said the roadmap will address the Government’s approach to international travel. He said we should keep in mind when looking at the incidence of the virus over the past 14 days, that it doesn’t give an indication of how may tests that have been done.
In countries like Ireland that do a lot of testing, we are going to see more cases, he said. So we need to look at the positivity rate as well, he claimed, and Ireland has been very stable now for several weeks.
