The Irish Travel Agents Association (ITAA) said that “a number” of holidaymakers from Ireland were having to quarantine on the Mediterranean island despite being fully vaccinated against Covid.
The situation has occurred because Maltese authorities have not been accepting vaccination cards, issued by the Irish health service HSE, and are instead insisting on travellers providing digital proof of vaccination.
ITAA called on the Irish government to “liaise with Maltese authorities and issue digital Covid certificates (DCCs) to affected passengers immediately”.
