These Regulations amend the Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel) (England) Regulations 2020 (“the International Travel Regulations”) and the Health Protection (Coronavirus, Public Health Information for Passengers Travelling to England) Regulations 2020 (“the Information Regulations”).

They exempt persons arriving in England from the requirement in regulation 4 of the International Travel Regulations to self-isolate if, during the 14 days preceding their arrival, they have only departed from or transited through “exempt countries or territories”. They also add to the categories of information to be provided on arrival and the categories of persons who are otherwise exempt from the requirements in regulations 3 and 4 of those Regulations.

Regulations 6 and 10 change the frequency with which the Secretary of State is required to review the need for the requirements under the International Travel Regulations and the Information Regulations from at least every 21 days to at least every 28 days.
