The move comes against a backdrop of increasing coronavirus cases in Ireland.

The ban on flights and passenger ferries from Britain and South Africa will also be extended until midnight on Friday. From Saturday anyone travelling to Ireland from Britain or South Africa will be required to produce a negative laboratory test received within three days before travel.
