Transitional provision in connection with regulation 2

3.—(1) Paragraph (2) applies where, immediately before 4.00 a.m. on 29 August 2020—

(a)a person (“P”) was subject to an isolation requirement by virtue of having arrived in Wales from, or having been in a country listed in regulation 2, and

(b)P’s last day of isolation is 29 August 2020 or a day after that day.

(2) The addition of the countries listed in regulation 2 to Part 1 of Schedule 3 to the International Travel Regulations does not affect the isolation requirement as it applies to P, nor affect how P’s last day of isolation is determined under the International Travel Regulations.

(3) Paragraph (4) applies where a person (“P”)—

(a)arrives in Wales at or after 4.00 a.m. on 29 August 2020, and

(b)was in a country listed in regulation 2 within the period of 14 days ending with the day of P’s arrival in Wales.

(4) For the purposes of regulations 7(1) and 8(1) of the International Travel Regulations, the question of whether P has arrived in Wales from, or having been in, a non-exempt country or territory is, in relation to a country listed in regulation 2, to be determined by reference to whether the country was a non-exempt country when P was last there (and not by reference to the country’s status upon P’s arrival in Wales).

(5) In this regulation, “isolation requirement” has the meaning given by regulation 10(2) of the International Travel Regulations; and references to P’s last day of isolation are to be interpreted in accordance with regulation 12 of those Regulations.
