These Regulations amend the Health Protection (International Travel) (Coronavirus) (Scotland) Regulations 2020 (“the International Travel Regulations”) to add a definition of “relevant international event” to include both the United Nations Climate Change Conference 2021 (known as COP 26) and the World Leaders summit organised by the United Kingdom Government in connection with COP 26, and to set out how the International Travel Regulations are to apply to those people attending or facilitating COP 26 and the World Leaders summit. The events are being hosted in Glasgow.

These Regulations also correct a technical error in regulation 5F(9)(b) of the International Travel Regulations, where the second reference to day 2 test providers should be to day 8 test providers.
