(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Health Protection (Coronavirus) (International Travel) (Scotland) Regulations 2020 (“the International Travel Regulations”).
The Regulations remove Liechtenstein from the list of exempt countries, territories and parts of countries or 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 Liechtenstein.
The Regulations also add the Canary Islands, Denmark and Maldives to the list of exempt countries and territories, and they remove the exclusion of the island of Mykonos from the exemption applying to Greece. This means that persons arriving in Scotland from The Canary Islands, Denmark, Maldives or Mykonos at or after the time these Regulations come into force will be exempt from the movement restriction in regulation 6 of the International Travel Regulations.
Regulation 2(3) amends schedule 1 of the International Travel Regulations to remove the travel booking reference from the information specified in that schedule, and to include the seat number and, where appropriate, the coach number.
Regulation 2(4) amends schedule 2 of the International Travel Regulations to—
(a)substitute a new definition of “visiting force” in paragraph 3, and
(b)clarify that the exemption in paragraph 25 only applies where a person has travelled to the United Kingdom in the course of their work.
