(2) Regulations 7(1) and 8(1) are to be read in relation to P as if references to “a non-exempt country or territory” were references to “a country or territory listed in Schedule 3A”.

(3) The isolation requirement imposed on P by virtue of regulation 7(1) or 8(1) as modified by paragraph (2), is also imposed on all members of P’s household.

(4) Despite regulation 9(2), regulations 7 and 8 apply to P.

(8) Regulation 10 applies to P (and a member of P’s household by virtue of paragraph (7)) as if, for paragraph (4) of that regulation, there were substituted—

“(4) P may leave and be outside of the premises—

(a) for as long as is necessary—

(i) to seek medical assistance, where this is required urgently or on the advice of a registered medical practitioner;
