[F1 Testing requirements on eligible travellers (non-workers) E+W

3J.— (1) This regulation applies to an eligible traveller (“P”), other than an eligible traveller described in regulation 3I, when P arrives in England.

(2) Where P is an adult, P must possess a booking for a day 2 test for themselves and for any child aged 5 or older with whom they are travelling and for whom they have responsibility.

(3) Where P is an adult who arrives without a booking required by paragraph (2), P must as soon as practicable make such a booking.

(4) Where P is a child aged 5 or older, who is unaccompanied by an adult who has responsibility for P, and who arrives without a booking for a day 2 test, the adult with responsibility for P must make a booking for a day 2 test as soon as practicable after P arrives.

(5) P must provide evidence of a booking for a day 2 test if requested by an immigration officer or a constable.

(6) Where P is an adult, and in England, they must undertake the day 2 test.

(7) Where P is a child aged 5 or older, and in England, the adult with responsibility for P must, so far as reasonably practicable, ensure that P undertakes the day 2 test.

(8) Where P does not undertake a day 2 test as required by this regulation by reason of a reasonable excuse (see regulation 19(1)(c) and (4)), P must, as soon as practicable after the matters giving rise to the reasonable excuse no longer pertain, undertake a replacement day 2 test.

(9) Where a replacement day 2 test is undertaken instead of a day 2 test, P is to be treated as if they had undertaken a day 2 test in accordance with this regulation.

(10) In this regulation—

(a) “day 2 test” means a test for coronavirus which complies with paragraph 6 of Schedule 8 and is undertaken in circumstances described in paragraph 10 of that Schedule;

(b) “replacement day 2 test” means a test meeting the requirements of a day 2 test save as to the time at which that test is to be undertaken.]
