Regulation 3 amends regulation 14 of the International Travel Regulations to enable the use of lateral flow device tests for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in persons who are eligible vaccinated arrivals as an alternative to existing requirements to undertake day 2 polymerase chain reaction tests.

Regulation 6 amends the list of red list countries in schedule 1 of the International Travel Regulations.
Regulation 7 amends schedule 1A of the International Travel Regulations. It adds to the list of countries which are “relevant countries” meaning that persons who receive vaccines in those countries can count as “eligible vaccinated arrivals” for the purposes of the International Travel Regulations.
