HSE CEO says people to need to carry out a personal risk assessment before going abroad
The HSE CEO says unvaccinated people planning to travel abroad this summer need to carry out a "personal risk assessment".
The National Public Health Emergency Team says there should be no consideration to leave the country this summer for people who haven't been fully vaccinated.
However, the Government has signed up to the EU Digital Covid Cert which allows travel for those recently recovered from the virus or have a negative PCR test.
Paul Reid says people need to be aware that the spread of Covid-19 can't go back to the levels it was in January.
"I fully appreciate people need a break, but there is a personal risk assessment that people have to make.
"I remember giving advice to government back in the early stages of this year, and the strongest advice was we cannot let our health system go back to where it was in January."
