(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations impose requirements on individuals arriving in Northern Ireland and who have been in a country outside the common travel area (that is, the open borders area comprising the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, the Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands) in order to prevent the spread of infection or contamination from coronavirus or coronavirus disease.
The Regulations require those people (i) to provide information including contact details and details of their intended onward travel, and (ii) to self-isolate for a period of 14 days following their arrival in the common travel area. Certain categories of person, including flight crew etc. are exempt from the requirements.
These Regulations also require people who arrive in Northern Ireland from another part of the Common Travel Area, and who have been outside the common travel area, to self-isolate until 14 days after their arrival into the Common Travel Area.
No impact assessment has been prepared for these Regulations.
