EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Health Protection (Coronavirus) (International Travel) (Scotland) Regulations 2020 (“the International Travel Regulations”).
Regulations 3 and 4 make minor technical changes to regulations 5C and 6 of the International Travel Regulations. Regulation 3 substitutes a new regulation 5C(1) to make clearer the scope of the testing requirements in regulations 5C to 5K, and regulation 4 substitutes a new regulation 6(1)(a) to clarify the application of the requirement to self-isolate in specified premises where individuals are not required to enter managed isolation due to their holding a sectoral exemption.
Regulation 5 amends the list of acute risk countries and territories specified in schedule A2 of the International Travel Regulations. Bangladesh, Kenya, Pakistan and Philippines are added to the list of acute risk countries and territories. The effect is that in addition to existing restrictions, as of 4.00 a.m. on 9 April 2021, arrivals in Scotland via the common travel area who have in the previous 10 days departed from, or transited through, one of these countries may only enter Scotland at a designated airport, and they must be in possession of a managed self-isolation package. Exemptions from isolation are constrained for travellers who have in the previous 10 days departed from, or transited through, an acute risk country or territory.
Regulation 6 amends the Health Protection (Coronavirus) (International Travel, Prohibition on Travel from the United Arab Emirates) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2021 to remove the prohibition on arrival into Scotland of relevant aircraft travelling directly from the United Arab Emirates.
