Mandatory hotel quarantine is expected to begin later this week for air passengers from 33 countries - despite the advice of health officials.
Minutes from a National Public Health Emergency Meeting last month show the group wanted to quarantine arrivals from all countries.
People coming to Ireland from the designated areas will have to stay in a hotel for 14 days, or face a fine or jail-time.
The contract for the system has been signed by the Tifco Hotel Group.
