Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations amend the Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel) (Wales) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/574 (W. 132)) (the “International Travel Regulations”). The International Travel Regulations have been previously amended by:

The International Travel Regulations impose requirements on persons entering Wales after having been abroad. They include a requirement for persons arriving in Wales to isolate for a period determined in accordance with those Regulations.

The requirements imposed by the International Travel Regulations are subject to exceptions, and certain categories of person are exempt from having to comply.

Persons entering Wales after being in one or more of the countries and territories listed in Schedule 3 to the International Travel Regulations are not required to isolate. The countries and territories listed in Schedule 3 are referred to as “exempt countries and territories”.

Part 2 of these Regulations amends the list of exempt countries and territories. Regulation 2 amends the International Travel Regulations to remove all countries and territories listed in Part 1 and Part 2 of Schedule 3 to the International Travel Regulations from the list of exempt countries and territories.

Regulation 3 of these Regulations makes transitional provision in connection with those countries’ and territories’ change of status. The transitional provision addresses a potential area of doubt in terms of the effect on the operation of the International Travel Regulations, of the amendments made by regulation 2 of these Regulations.

Part 3 of these Regulations amends Schedule 2 (exempt persons) to the International Travel Regulations. Schedule 2 to those Regulations exempts certain categories of worker from having to provide passenger information and from having to isolate. Regulation 4 removes paragraph 37 of Schedule 2 to the International Travel Regulations.

Part 4 of these Regulations amends regulation 10 of the International Travel Regulations (isolation requirements: exceptions). Regulation 5 removes subparagraphs (4)(jc) and (4)(jd) from regulation 10.

The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, a regulatory impact assessment has not been prepared as to the likely cost and benefit of complying with these Regulations.
