(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 Aruba, The Azores, Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba, The Falkland Islands, Madeira and Qatar from the list of exempt countries and territories in schedule A1. The effect is that as of 4.00 a.m. on 15 January 2021, travellers arriving in Scotland having departed from or transited through Aruba, Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba or Qatar will be subject to the movement restriction in regulation 6 of the International Travel Regulations.
The Regulations also move Chile from the list of exempt countries and territories in Part 1 of schedule A1 to the list of acute risk countries and territories in schedule A2 of the International Travel Regulations, and they add Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Cape Verde, Colombia, Ecuador, the Falkland Islands, French Guiana, Guyana, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal (including Madeira and The Azores), Suriname, Uruguay and Venezuela to that list.
The effect is that as of 4.00 a.m. on 15 January 2021, travellers arriving in Scotland having departed from or transited through any of these countries or territories will be subject to the additional measures applying to arrivals from acute risk countries. This means that arriving travellers and all members of their household are subject to the movement restriction in regulation 6 of the International Travel Regulations, and exemptions in respect of both the movement restriction and the requirement to complete the Passenger Locator Form do not apply.
