Ryanair urges Irish & British Govts. to mandate to wearing of face masks for passengers instead of 14-day quarantines

Ryanair: 14-day quarantines are ineffective, unimplementable, 23 May 2020

In a statement, Ryanair Group's CEO Michael O'Leary said that "14-day quarantines are ineffective and unimplementable. Requiring international arrivals to quarantine only after they have used multiple public transport providers to get from the airport to their ultimate destination has no basis in science or medicine."

"We strongly urge Europe's governments, especially those in Ireland and the UK, to mandate to the wearing of face masks for airline, train and underground passengers, as this is the best and most effective way to limit the spread of COVID-19 in public transport environments where social distancing is not possible," he said.
