(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Health Protection (Coronavirus) (International Travel) (Scotland) Regulations 2020 (“the International Travel Regulations”).
They remove Andorra, The Bahamas and Belgium from the list of exempt countries and territories in schedule A1 of the International Travel Regulations. This means that persons arriving in Scotland on or after the time these Regulations come into force are no longer exempt from the movement restriction in regulation 6 of the International Travel Regulations if, during the 14 days preceding their arrival, they have departed from or transited through any of these countries.
They add Brunei and Malaysia to the list of exempt countries and territories in schedule A1 of the International Travel Regulations. This means any person who arrives in Scotland on or after 0400 hours on 11 August 2020 having departed from, or transited through, one of those countries will be exempt from the movement restriction in regulation 6 of the International Travel Regulations.
