EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Health Protection (Coronavirus) (International Travel) (Scotland) Regulations 2020 ("the International Travel Regulations").
They remove Guadeloupe and Slovenia from the list of exempt countries and territories in Part 1 of schedule A1 of the International Travel Regulations. This means that persons arriving in Scotland at or after the time these Regulations come into force are no longer exempt from the movement restriction in regulation 6 of the International Travel Regulations if, during the 14 days preceding their arrival, they have departed from, or transited through, Guadeloupe or Slovenia.
The regulations also add Singapore and Thailand to the list of exempt countries and territories in schedule A1 of the International Travel Regulations.
