Speaking on Thursday, Dr Holohan warned that unless you are fully vaccinated, you should not travel abroad for a holiday, but added that the National Public Health Emergency Team did want to see travel resuming because of the vaccination levels in the Irish population.
“Don’t travel unless you’re vaccinated, I think will continue to be our message, and we’re getting more and more people vaccinated,” Dr Holohan said. “We are now experiencing near elimination of Covid-19 in the vaccinated population. For the 50-65s who are in the process of receiving protection from full vaccination, incidence is dropping,” he said.
