We could send them all over the country and fill up all the hotels. Sure what harm could come of that?Yeah, I'm not sure they've really thought it through. Dublin would need about 100k extra bed spaces to accommodate current arrival numbers at Dublin airport for 14 days. Testing is unlikely to become sensitive enough to detect the virus in the first few days of infection so you then have the challenge of how to stop these hotels becoming hotbeds of transmission with more infected people leaving them than arrive.

Is it true that Greece have designated hotels and other places for the arriving people, who are tested at the airport .
Maybe they were just selecting countries and territories based on their infection rate.I'm not sure why they bothered to include San Marino, Gibraltar, Greenland and Monaco. Most people would need to fly to Spain to get to Gibraltar. Fly to France to get to Monaco. Greenland but not Iceland. I suppose they wanted to make the list look longer and more impressive.
Well actually it is people coming from these parts that are exempted but I take your point. It seems the height of silliness to include, say, San Marino. In fact San Marino has the highest death rate in the World according to the official survey. Okay it has possibly flattened its curve. All the same 1 death tomorrow would be equivalent to 150 deaths in Ireland.I'm not sure why they bothered to include San Marino, Gibraltar, Greenland and Monaco.

Take France. It is split into over 80 departments, all of which are vastly more populous than San Marino. The vast majority of these Departments are in a far better place re COVID than Ireland yet they are all out of bounds whilst San Marino, Monaco, Gibraltar make the cut. Go figure.
Well I accept that to discriminate between different French Departments is not a practical proposition. But the idea of a separate treatment of folk who come from San Marino or Monaco or Gibraltar is also most impractical as well as being entirely irrelevant.I'd be more inclined to agree with you but our previous experience in Italy with regional level restrictions didn't work out too well... Unless a country has strong restrictions on moving between regions it makes sense to assess them at national level.

... San Marino or The Vatican even though these are in Italy.
