No more testing for lorry drivers entering France

From March 5, drivers going directly from Ireland to France are no longer obliged to present a negative Covid-19 test.

The Irish Department of Transport has been informed that the French Government will no longer require drivers of Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV), Light Goods Vehicles (LGV) or Coaches travelling on direct maritime routes from Ireland to France to present proof of a negative COVID-19 antigen or PCR test. Neither are they required to provide a “declaration of honour”.
Testing sites are still open and drivers can perform free tests, which are still required, for example, when entering Germany or the Netherlands.
