3.—(1) Paragraph (2) applies where a person (“P”)—

(b) was last in a country listed in regulation 2—

(i) within the period of 14 days ending with the day of P’s arrival in Wales, and

(ii) before 4.00 a.m. on 18 October 2020.

(2) P is, by virtue of having been in a country listed in regulation 2, to be treated for the purposes of regulations 7(1) and 8(1) of the International Travel Regulations as having arrived in Wales from, or having been in, a non-exempt country or territory.

4.  In Part 1 of Schedule 3 to the International Travel Regulations (exempt countries and territories outside the common travel area), in the entry for Greece, for the words from “territories” to the end substitute “territory of Mykonos”.

Transitional provision in connection with regulation 4

5.—(1) Paragraph (2) applies where, immediately before 4.00 a.m. on 18 October 2020—

(a) a person (“P”) was subject to an isolation requirement by virtue of having arrived in Wales from, or having been in the territory of Crete, and

(b) P’s last day of isolation is 18 October 2020 or a day after that day.

(2) The omission by regulation 4 of the territory of Crete from Part 1 of Schedule 3 to the International Travel Regulations does not affect the isolation requirement as it applies to P, nor affect how P’s last day of isolation is determined under the International Travel Regulations.

(3) Paragraph (4) applies where a person (“P”)—

(a) arrives in Wales at or after 4.00 a.m. on 18 October 2020, and

(b) was in the territory of Crete within the period of 14 days ending with the day of P’s arrival in Wales.

(4) For the purposes of regulations 7(1) and 8(1) of the International Travel Regulations, the question of whether P has arrived in Wales from, or having been in, a non-exempt country or territory is, in relation to the territory of Crete, to be determined by reference to whether the territory of Crete was a non-exempt territory when P was last there (and not by reference to the territory’s status upon P’s arrival in Wales).

(5) In this regulation, “isolation requirement” has the meaning given by regulation 10(2) of the International Travel Regulations; and references to P’s last day of isolation are to be interpreted in accordance with regulation 12 of those Regulations.
