(This note is not part of the Regulations)

Part 2A of the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984 enables the Welsh Ministers, by regulations, to make provision for the purpose of preventing, protecting against, controlling or providing a public health response to the incidence or spread of infection or contamination in Wales.

These Regulations are made in response to the threat to public health which is posed by the incidence and spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in Wales.

These Regulations amend the Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) (No. 5) (Wales) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/1609 (W. 335)) (“the principal Regulations”). The amendments—

provide that the principal Regulations expire at the end of the day on 9 May 2022 (rather than 18 April 2022);

omit Part 4 of the principal Regulations, which requires persons responsible for regulated premises to take all reasonable measures to minimise the risk of exposure to coronavirus at the premises (but Welsh Government guidance on minimising the risk of the transmission of coronavirus remains relevant).

The Regulations also make amendments that are consequential on the amendments set out above.

As amended by these Regulations, the principal Regulations continue to provide that no alert level applies to Wales. This means that none of the restrictions and requirements in Schedules 1 to 4 to the principal Regulations apply.

The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. In accordance with the Code, a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely cost and benefit of complying with these Regulations has not been carried out, due to the need to put them in place urgently.

<authorialNote>
<p class="indented">Part 2A of the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984 enables the Welsh Ministers, by regulations, to make provision for the purpose of preventing, protecting against, controlling or providing a public health response to the incidence or spread of infection or contamination in Wales.</p>
<p class="indented">These Regulations are made in response to the threat to public health which is posed by the incidence and spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in Wales.</p>
<p class="indented">
These Regulations amend the Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) (No. 5) (Wales) Regulations 2020 (
<ref href="http://www.legislation.gov.uk/id/wsi/2020/1609">S.I. 2020/1609 (W. 335)</ref>
) (“
<term refersTo="#term-the-principal-regulations">the principal Regulations</term>
”). The amendments—
</p>
<blockList class="unordered">
<item>
<p>provide that the principal Regulations expire at the end of the day on 9 May 2022 (rather than 18 April 2022);</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>omit Part 4 of the principal Regulations, which requires persons responsible for regulated premises to take all reasonable measures to minimise the risk of exposure to coronavirus at the premises (but Welsh Government guidance on minimising the risk of the transmission of coronavirus remains relevant).</p>
</item>
</blockList>
<p class="indented">The Regulations also make amendments that are consequential on the amendments set out above.</p>
<p class="indented">As amended by these Regulations, the principal Regulations continue to provide that no alert level applies to Wales. This means that none of the restrictions and requirements in Schedules 1 to 4 to the principal Regulations apply.</p>
<p class="indented">The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. In accordance with the Code, a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely cost and benefit of complying with these Regulations has not been carried out, due to the need to put them in place urgently.</p>
