Dr. Anthony Costello, Former Director at the World Health Organisation told Seán O'Rourke on RTÉ this morning that "all the experts" agree that travel bans don't work to stop the spread of Covid-19 because the virus has already spread through travel.
New Zealand which has a similar population and size to Ireland closed its borders to anyone who is not a citizen or resident on March the 19th.

The World Health Organization blocked doctors from urging countries to impose border controls to stop the spread of coronavirus, it has been revealed.
While the organization was demanding countries impose zero border controls, it was also campaigning against the profiling of international travelers in order to prevent the “stigmatization” of Chinese people (hurt feelings).
It has now been revealed that medical experts who were urging countries to impose border controls were silenced.
“So the official meeting records say there was a divergence of views but they won’t actually go into detail about who was trying to block it. But there were doctors there who wanted to issue travel bans and the World Health Organization blocked it.”
The effort to silence medical professionals from urging countries to enact travel bans was made on January 30 during a meeting of WHO bureaucrats and health experts in Geneva, Switzerland.
