Legislation – The Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel and Operator Liability) (England) (Amendment) (No. 15) Regulations 2021

These Regulations amend the Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel and Operator Liability) (England) Regulations 2021 (S.I. 2021/582) (“the International Travel Regulations”).

Regulations 3 and 4(1) and (2)(a) to (c) are concerned with domestic elite sportspersons who have returned to England after being in a category 3 country within the period of ten days before the day of their return, and are required to self-isolate in accordance with regulation 9 of the International Travel Regulations in consequence of paragraph 2(1)(lb) of Schedule 11.

Those Regulations specify the applicable regime and what is required in terms of testing and self-isolation under the International Travel Regulations in the event these sportspersons leave England again before the period for which they must self-isolate has expired.

Regulations 4(2)(d) and 5 correct errors made in earlier instruments.

Regulation 6 removes the requirement in Schedule 6 for passengers to list their seat numbers on Passenger Locator Forms.
