Private Tester Says Capacity Doesn't Exist To Meet New Air Travel Rules

A private Covid-19 tester is warning the capacity doesn't exist to check thousands of people arriving home for Christmas.

It comes as the Government announced new travel rules for red listed European countries yesterday.
From midnight on November 29th, people will be allowed to move freely once they pass a Covid-19 test five days following their arrival.
Vida Care, which has a drive-through testing facility near Dublin Airport, says it will faIl to private companies to carry out the tests.
