(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (Self-Isolation) (England) Regulations 2020 to ensure that a person can leave self-isolation to post an antibody test, and that the following people are not required to self-isolate if they have come into contact with a person who has tested positive for coronavirus—

  1. (a)

    a person who has received a complete course of the coronavirus vaccination, provided that the contact takes place more than 14 days after they have completed their course of vaccinations,

  2. (b)

    a person who has taken part in a vaccine trial,

  3. (c)

    a person who can provide evidence that for clinical reasons they should not be vaccinated, and

  4. (d)

    a child.

The Regulations also provide that, where a person comes within those categories, but was in a period of self-isolation on 16th August, their period of self-isolation will end at the beginning of that date, and make a number of consequential amendments.
