Travel restrictions

AS Ireland and Britain share a common travel area, those travelling from Ireland to Newmarket do not have to present a negative Covid-19 test result on arrival in Britain, nor do they have to quarantine.

On return to Ireland, passengers must produce evidence of a negative Covid-19 PCR (swab) test within the previous 72 hours, and they must fill in a passenger locator form which states where that person will self-isolate for the next 14 days. This period can be shortened to five days if the person tests negative again on day five.
