(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Health Protection (Coronavirus) (International Travel) (Scotland) Regulations 2020. They exclude passengers who have departed from, or transited through mainland France (including Corsica), from status as “eligible vaccinated arrivals” within the meaning of regulation 2A of those Regulations, who would have been exempt from certain requirements imposed by the Regulations.
They also remove the duty on an operator of a relevant service which commences in France to check that such a passenger possesses the required evidence.
The provision for eligible vaccinated arrivals and duties on operators amended was made by the Health Protection (Coronavirus) (International Travel etc.) (Miscellaneous Amendments) (Scotland) (No. 5) Regulations 2021.
