Ireland is throwing society completely open again, albeit (for a while) with mouth masks

Foreigners who now thought of throwing themselves into the realm of freedom in Ireland should still pay attention. They will still have to present a vaccination certificate or a negative test. The Passenger Location Form, in which they must state their recent travel history, also remains mandatory for foreigners.

For abroad, the Irish approach will be an interesting experiment. In a sense, Ireland is now letting the virus go. Only the mouth masks have to offer additional protection for the time being, on top of the vaccinations. How that will turn out is still uncertain, but there will undoubtedly be a lot in Irish pubs in the coming days Irish pints sounded on.
