"This new variant, B.1.1.529 seems to spread very quick! In less than 2 weeks now dominates all infections following a devastating Delta wave in South Africa (Blue new variant, now at 75% of last genomes and soon to reach 100%)"

A friend of mine says he knows people working in hospitality who have been told to expect lockdown mid December.

Not sure how going back into lockdown is going to fare; limit to how much isolation you can continue to push on people. Sorely tempted to book an AirBnB on a Spanish island for next few months and least get some sun.

Common Travel Area exempt from new UK travel measures​

The Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney has welcomed confirmation that new travel measures taken by the UK against the Omicron variant will not apply to the Common Travel Area (CTA).

New tougher measures including PCR testing will be introduced for arrivals to the UK from Tuesday morning.

All contacts with a suspected case of Omicron will have to isolate for 10 days, regardless of their vaccination status, amid concerns existing vaccines will be less effective against the strain that is believed to spread rapidly.

However, this will not apply to the common travel area (CTA), which covers travel between Britain, the island of Ireland, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands.

No Covid-19 test or quarantine is required if travelling within the CTA and not outside of the CTA in the previous ten days.

Mr Coveney welcomed the move today and clarified that travellers from Ireland to the UK will not be affected by the measures.
