These Regulations amend the Health Protection (Coronavirus) (International Travel) (Scotland) Regulations 2020 (the “International Travel Regulations”).
These Regulations amend the International Travel Regulations to make provision for certain persons carrying out work in connection with, or performing at, the Edinburgh International Festival. A person who is an essential infrastructure worker or a performing arts professional is required to comply with regulations 5D to 5J of the International Travel Regulations (testing following arrival in Scotland). However, such a person is not required to comply with regulation 6(2) of the International Travel Regulations (requirement to stay in specified premises) where that person is outside of the place where they are staying to travel directly to, from or attend the location of the essential work or performing arts event.
