EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Public Health Information for Persons Travelling to Wales etc.) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/595 (W. 136)) (“the Public Health Information Regulations”) impose requirements on operators of international passenger services coming from outside the common travel area to an airport, heliport or seaport in Wales (“operators”), to provide passengers with specified public health information.

These Regulations amend the Public Health Information Regulations to update the information that operators are required to provide to passengers who arrive in Wales. The updated information that operators are required to provide includes information about the requirement under regulation 6B of the Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel) (Wales) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/574 (W. 132)) (“the International Travel Regulations”), to arrange post arrival testing (Regulation 2).

These Regulations also amend the Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel, Pre-Departure Testing and Operator Liability) (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2021 (S.I. 2021/48 (W. 11)) (“the Operator Liability Regulations”) in consequence of amendments made to the International Travel Regulations on 15 February 2021.
