Ireland is to ease quarantine restrictions on people travelling from abroad on July 20, with people from a “green list” of countries with low Covid-19 rates to be exempt from isolating themselves for 14 days, Reuters quoted the transport minister Eamon Ryan as saying.

Former prime minister Leo Varadkar had said in June that the restrictions would be eased from July 9.

“A so-called green list... will be published on July 20,” Ryan said in an interview with Newstalk radio station. “The green list will be operating after that.”
