(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Health Protection (Coronavirus) (International Travel) (Scotland) Regulations 2020 (“the International Travel Regulations”).
They remove the Czech Republic and Jamaica from the list of exempt countries and territories in Part 1 of schedule A1 of the International Travel Regulations. This means that persons arriving in Scotland at 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 the Czech Republic or Jamaica.
The regulations also add Cuba to the list of exempt countries and territories in schedule A1 of the International Travel Regulations. This means that any person who arrives in Scotland at or after 4.00 a.m. on 29 August 2020 having departed from, or transited through, Cuba will be exempt from the movement restriction in regulation 6 of the International Travel Regulations.
