Ireland reopens indoor dining for vaccinated people

In the short term, the authorities changed the rules for contact tracking: only one person from each group has to provide their personal data.

It is expected that more than 3000 pubs will open that could not or did not want to comply with the previously applicable distance rules. Many pubs had therefore closed since the beginning of the pandemic. So far, almost 2.4 million people – almost half of the population – have received two vaccinations against the coronavirus in the EU country.
