These Regulations amend the Health Protection (Coronavirus) (International Travel) (Scotland) Regulations 2020 (“the International Travel Regulations”).

Regulation 3 amends regulation 7A of the International Travel Regulations to limit the exemption of seafarers and inspectors and surveyors of ships from the requirement to enter Scotland only at a designated port and the requirement to take out and comply with a managed self-isolation package (hotel accommodation, transport to it and testing). Seafarers and inspectors and surveyors of ships will no longer benefit from the exemption where they have entered the UK in order to work on a cruise ship, or after having worked on a cruise ship.

Regulation 4 makes saving provision such that a person who arrives in Scotland on or after 12:01 am on 8 June 2020, but before the coming into effect of an amendment made by these Regulations, must comply with the International Travel Regulations as they were at the time at which the person arrived in Scotland.
