EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel) (England) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/568) (“the International Travel Regulations”) to add some additional sectoral exemptions.
An amendment has been made to the elite sportspersons exemption to allow for new signings to use the exemption.
The new exemptions are for certain workers engaged in television production, properly accredited journalists, senior executives in business and performing arts professionals.
Passengers are not required to self-isolate on arrival in England if, during the 14 days preceding their arrival, they have only been in or transited through exempt countries or territories, or exempt parts of countries or territories.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument. An explanatory memorandum has been published alongside this instrument at www.legislation.gov.uk.
