EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations amend the Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2021 (“the principal Regulations”).

An amendment corrects an error in those Regulations, namely a typographical error in Regulation 27 (Amount of fixed penalty) in paragraph (11)(d) regarding the penalty for not taking a test.

Schedule 1 (Red list countries) is amended to include Afghanistan, Bahrain, Costa Rica, Egypt, Sri Lanka, Sudan, and Trinidad and Tobago.

Schedule 2 (Green list countries) is amended to omit Portugal.

Schedule 4 (Persons who are exempt) is amended to refer to the relevant regulations.

Schedule 7 (Managed isolation) is also amended to correct a typographical error in paragraph 11(1)(a) (Permitted reasons to leave or be outside the place of managed isolation) to refer to the relevant paragraph in Schedule 6 relating to consequences of test results for red list and amber list arrivals.

No impact assessment has been prepared for these Regulations.
