View the COVID-19 Green List

Depending on agreed criteria, travel to certain countries may be exempted from the general advice against non-essential travel overseas, and these countries may be given a ‘normal precautions’ (“green”) security status rating. The request to restrict movements does not apply to individuals arriving into Ireland from these countries.

The Green List was reviewed again on the basis of the ECDC data on Thursday 15 October. As no EU / EEA countries were below the required 14-day cumulative number of COVID-19 cases, it remains the case that there are no countries on the Green List. The new EU Recommendation on coordinating travel within the EU / EEA was adopted at the General Affairs Council in Brussels on 13 October.

Implementation of this is for consideration by Government next week.
