I have French friends who are planning to visit Ireland and stay with me at the end of July.
They have been vaccinated.
Just want to double-check that I understand the covid protocols correctly. Have I got the points below correct?
- They should bring evidence of their vaccination with them.
- They need to show evidence of a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours of their flight to Ireland (or is the 72 hours calculated on their arrival in Ireland)?
- They must quarantine for at least 5 days upon arrival and then take another PCR test.
- Once this second PCR test turns out to be negative, they are free to move around like any unrestricted citizen?
How long does the PCR test take in Ireland? Is this a "privately" sourced test and how much do they cost?
Thanks in advance for any guidance!
Thanks EmmDee
The centre in Sandyford is public? and free of charge? Do you know how they arranged this?
There are different types of PCR tests, looks like they only accept RT-PCR tests, so you would need to ensure and test being used clearly states it is of that variety.I'm just after seeing your post - rings a bell alright. I am wondering why the NHS test is deemed unacceptable and whether a similar approach applies to French public (versus private) tests?
Tell them that if they are stopped they are just bringing back the horse.I have French friends who are planning to visit Ireland and stay with me at the end of July.
