R\u00f3is\u00edn Shortall, TD and co-leader of the Social Democrats, has called on the T\u00e1naiste Leo Varadkar to clarify his comments made in the D\u00e1il today that, \u201cPeople coming into the island for any reason are being asked to restrict their movements, not self-isolate or quarantine, for 14 days.\u201d<\/p>\n
Deputy Shortall said, \u201cThere has been considerable confusion among the travelling public about Government\u2019s mixed messages on quarantining. Given the public\u2019s concern about the importation of the virus, we need to hear urgently from the Government with clarification on what exactly the current regulations are, and furthermore how they intend to strengthen the regulations in order to limit the risk posed by those people travelling from countries that have high incidences of the virus or are not on the promised green list.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn view of this urgent need, the T\u00e1naiste\u2019s comments today serve to further muddy the waters on what should be a crystal clear message.\u201d<\/p>\n
