These Regulations amend the Health Protection (Coronavirus) (International Travel) (Scotland) Regulations 2020 ("the International Travel Regulations").
They remove Greece (apart from the islands of Crete, Corfu, Kos, Rhodes and Zakynthos) from the list of exempt countries, territories and parts of countries or territories in Part 1 of schedule A1 of the International Travel Regulations. They also remove the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia in the Island of Cyprus from the list of United Kingdom overseas territories in that schedule. 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 Greece (other than the islands of Crete, Corfu, Kos, Rhodes and Zante) or the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia in the Island of Cyprus. These removals from the list in schedule A1 will not affect passengers who arrive in Scotland before 4.00 a.m. on 14 November 2020.
These Regulations add the following countries to the list of exempt countries, territories and parts of countries or territories in Part 1 of schedule A1 of the International Travel Regulations:
Bahrain
Cambodia
Chile
Iceland
Laos
Qatar
The United Arab Emirates.
They also add the Turks and Caicos Islands to the list of exempt United Kingdom overseas territories in Part 2 of that schedule.
Persons arriving in Scotland from these countries, territories, or parts of countries or territories, at or after the time these Regulations come into force will be exempt from the movement restriction in regulation 6 of the International Travel Regulations.
