Ireland’s Special Committee has recommended that temperature checks be carried out on all overseas visitors arriving into Ireland as part of efforts to prevent new cases of Covid-19 entering the country.
The measure is among a series of recommendations made by the Dáil’s Special Committee on Covid-19 Response in its interim report on testing and tracing.
The Committee says infections entering the country through travel from overseas poses a “strong risk” and all passengers should be temperature-screened on arrival. They also recommend that overseas visitors be tested at least twice during their stay in Ireland “due to the limitations of point-in-time testing”.
