NPHET continue to advise against non-essential travel.
Around 1.9 million Digital Covid Certs are to be issued from today.
It paves the way for people to travel seamlessly throughout the EU from the 19th of July, with the certs accepted at all ports and airports.

The certs provide proof of vaccination, proof of recovery from infection in the last 6 months, or of a negative PCR test within 72 hours of travel.
Despite this, the Government’s advisory against non-essential travel for the unvaccinated will remain in force after July 19.
According to one government minister:
"It is an Irish solution to an Irish problem. We will tell people that it is legally possible to travel with a negative PCR test – but in the same breath we will tell them that they should not go."
"We will continue to advise against non-essential travel for all those who are unvaccinated and have not suffered Covid in the last six months" they added.
