These Regulations amend the Health Protection (Coronavirus) (Restrictions and Requirements) (Local Levels) (Scotland) Regulations 2020 (“the Local Levels Regulations”).

Schedule 7A of the Local Levels Regulations sets out certain restrictions on entering Scotland from, or leaving Scotland to go to, the common travel area. Regulation 3 amends schedule 7A so that, from 21 June 2021, the areas of Manchester City Council and Salford City Council are added to the list of places in respect of which the restrictions set out in schedule 7A apply. It also amends schedule 7A so that, from 18 June 2021, the restrictions no longer apply in respect of the Republic of Ireland and the area of Bedford Borough Council.
