There are no direct changes to the BIVS, or at least I couldn't find any. The trip may be impossible, however, because of public health precautions, depending on the reason for the trip, the traveler's recent travel history, and, of course, the traveler's state of health.

Keep in mind that to visit Dublin with this visa, the traveler must first visit the United Kingdom, so it will be necessary to comply with two sets of restrictions.
