Fears more countries could be added to travel quarantine list
Last updated 18th Aug 2020
Speculation is growing that Turkey - one of the most popular destinations for holidaymakers from Northern Ireland - could be added to the travel quarantine list.
Along with Croatia and Greece, Turkey has seen a spike in coronavirus cases.
Already, France and the Netherlands have been added to the list and that means anyone travelling back from those countries will have to quarantine for two weeks.
The rate of infections is up in Croatia which recorded 208 new cases on Friday, 162 on Saturday and 151 on Sunday.
"The average age of those infected is 31 years as some two-thirds were infected in the nightclubs and bars that remain open beyond midnight," the country's chief epidemiologist Krunoslav Capak told a news conference.
Turkey's coronavirus count rose on Saturday to its highest daily level since 30 June, according to the government.
Health Minister Fahrettin Koca said on Twitter there were 1,256 new cases and 21 deaths over a 24-hour period.
For three weeks last month, new cases had hovered just under 1,000.
The total number of cases now stands at 249,309, while 5,783 people have died.
