These Regulations amend the Health Protection (Coronavirus) (International Travel) (Scotland) Regulations 2020 (“the International Travel Regulations”).
They remove Spain from the list of exempt countries and territories in schedule A1 of the International Travel Regulations. This means that persons arriving in Scotland on or after the time these Regulations come into force are no longer exempt from the movement restriction in regulation 6 of the International Travel Regulations if, during the 14 days preceding their arrival, they have departed from or transited through Spain.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument.
