Amendment of the Health Protection (Coronavirus, Public Health Information for Passengers Travelling to Scotland) Regulations 2020

5.  After regulation 3, insert—

“Provision of information between 24 and 48 hours before scheduled departure

3A.— (1) Subject to paragraphs (2) and (3), an operator must ensure that a passenger who arrives at a port in Scotland on an international passenger service provided by the operator was provided with the required information between 24 and 48 hours prior to the scheduled departure time of that service.

(2) Paragraph (1) applies only where—

(a) a booking was made for the passenger to travel on the relevant service at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled departure time, and

(b) the booking was made on or after 30 October 2020.

(3) If another person (“X”) made the booking on behalf of the passenger (whether or not X is also a passenger on the service), the requirement in paragraph (1) is to be treated as complied with if the required information was provided to X between 24 and 48 hours prior to the scheduled departure time of the relevant service, along with a written request that X provide that information to the passenger, unless X considers that, by virtue of age or mental capacity, the passenger is unlikely to be capable of understanding it.”.
