Sure you are quarantining for 2 weeks, whats the problem? You probably need to have a conversation with yourself, which is more important , the holiday in the Canaries, or what other people think ?I don't like doing it and I know that family and friends take a very poor view of people breaking the rules and this influences me too.
Ironic usernameI'm a stickler for the restrictions regarding Covid. I expect everybody else to be the same. That's why I ain't leaving the county, never mind the country until restrictions are lifted.
Queuing to get on plane. Queuing to get off plane. No social distancing. Transfer to terminal on packed bus. Queuing at passport control.
So you quarantine when you arrive back in Ireland and test positive after 5 days. So then what - overloaded Irish health system has to cope with another imported case and potential new mutants arriving here.
The restrictions on geographical movements are there for a reason and for the protection of society as a whole.
Nobody has a 'right' to disregard these for purely selfish personal objectives.
By summer the most vulnerable ones are hopefully vaccinated and also cases will go down again naturally with the higher temperatures and additional sunlight like it did last summer.
They are not in the EU and geographically already quite isolated. They do not host large populations of foreign nationals. A ton of lorries and buses / vans / planes come and go here daily basically. Ireland is hosting the EMEA HQ of many multinationals and also here travel is still involved.Not talking N. Korea at all - but definately admire New Zealand / Australia.
Faced with the global pandemic of COVID-19, declared by World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11th 2020, and the need to better understand the seasonal behavior of the virus, our team conducted this systematic review to describe current knowledge about the emergence and replicability of the virus and its connection with different weather factors such as temperature and relative humidity.

The initial screening identified 517 articles. After examination of the full texts, seventeen studies met the review's eligibility criteria. Great homogeneity was observed in the findings regarding the effect of temperature and humidity on the seasonal viability and transmissibility of COVID-19. Cold and dry conditions were potentiating factors on the spread of the virus. After quality assessment, two studies had a high risk of bias, eleven studies were scored as moderate risk of bias, and four studies were classified as low risk of bias. The certainty of evidence was graded as low for both outcomes evaluated.

Considering the existing scientific evidence, warm and wet climates seem to reduce the spread of COVID-19. However, these variables alone could not explain most of the variability in disease transmission. Therefore, the countries most affected by the disease should focus on health policies, even with climates less favorable to the virus. Although the certainty of the evidence generated was classified as low, there was homogeneity between the results reported by the included studies.
