[F1 Additional measures applicable to persons travelling from a country or territory listed in Schedule 3A E+W

12E.— (1) This regulation applies where an isolation requirement (within the meaning given by regulation 10(2)) is imposed on a person (“P”) because P—

(a) has arrived in Wales from a country or territory listed in Schedule 3A, or

(b) has, within the period of 10 days ending with the day of P’s arrival in Wales, been in a country or territory listed in Schedule 3A.

(2) Regulations 7(1) and 8(1) are to be read in relation to P as if references to “a non-exempt country or territory” were references to “a country or territory listed in Schedule 3A”.

(3) The isolation requirement imposed on P by virtue of regulation 7(1) or 8(1) as modified by paragraph (2), is also imposed on all members of P’s household.

(4) Despite regulation 9(2), regulations 7 and 8 apply to P.

(5) A member of P’s household is not exempt from the isolation requirement by virtue by regulation 9(2).

(6) Accordingly neither P nor any member of P’s household is to be treated as a person described in any paragraph of Schedule 2.

(7) For the purposes of regulation 10, a member of P’s household is to be treated as if that person were P.

(8) Regulation 10 applies to P (and a member of P’s household by virtue of paragraph (7)) as if, for paragraph (4) of that regulation, there were substituted—

“(4) P may leave and be outside of the premises—

(a) for as long as is necessary—

(i) to seek medical assistance, where this is required urgently or on the advice of a registered medical practitioner;

(ii) to avoid serious illness, serious injury or other risk of serious harm;
