The HSE is advising all passengers on the bus or plane to be aware of any symptoms for the next two to three weeks.

The alert affects a JJ Kavanagh bus - number 717 - which departed Dublin Airport for Clonmel at 4pm on Saturday afternoon.

It also affects Aer Lingus flight EI-451, which left Naples for Dublin at 11.40am on Saturday morning.

The HSE says any passenger who is pregnant, immuno-compromised, or under 12-months-old, should be brought to the attention of a GP or hospital for immediate advice, and other passengers should be alert for symptoms like a cough, sore eyes, high temperature or a rash.

Ring ahead before attending any healthcare setting to let them know you were exposed - and don't make any further travel arrangements.
