EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations amend the Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2021 (“the International Travel Regulations”).

Regulation 3 amends the International Travel Regulations to exclude arrivals who have been in Metropolitan France in the 10 days prior to arriving in Northern Ireland from claiming the fully vaccinated traveller exemption. It also amends the wording to reflect the requirement of declaration on the Passenger Locator Form for those claiming the fully vaccinated traveller exemption.

These Regulations also amend the Health Protection (Coronavirus, Operator Liability and Information to Passengers) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2021 (“the Passenger Information Regulations”).

Regulation 5 introduces a provision whereby regulation 4A of the Passenger Information Regulations does not apply in the case of the operator of a relevant service which commences in Metropolitan France.

No impact assessment has been prepared for these Regulations.
