These Regulations amend the Health Protection (Coronavirus) (International Travel and Operator Liability) (Scotland) Regulations 2021 (“the International Travel Regulations”).

Regulation 6 makes an amendment to regulation 29 of the International Travel Regulations such that it is not an offence for a child to contravene regulation 8 of the International Travel Regulations.

Regulation 7 makes amendments to schedule 8 regarding the information to be contained in passenger notices.

Regulation 8 makes savings provision to the effect that a person arriving in Scotland before these Regulations come into effect must comply with the International Travel Regulations as they had effect at the time of the person’s arrival in Scotland.
