PART 1General
Title, coming into force and interpretationI11
1
The title of these Regulations is the Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel) (Wales) (Amendment) (No. 14) Regulations 2020.
2
These Regulations come into force at 4.00 a.m. on 10 October 2020.
3
In these Regulations, the “International Travel Regulations” means the Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel) (Wales) Regulations 20202.
PART 2Amendment to Schedule 3 to the International Travel Regulations
Amendment to the list of exempt countries and territoriesI22
In Part 1 of Schedule 3 to the International Travel Regulations (exempt countries and territories outside the common travel area), in the entry for Greece, for the words from “Antiparos” to the end substitute “Crete and Mykonos”.
Transitional provision in connection with regulation 2I33
1
This regulation applies in relation to the Greek territories of Antiparos, Lesvos, Paros, Santorini, Serifos, Tinos and Zakynthos.
2
Paragraph (3) applies where, immediately before 4.00 a.m. on 10 October 2020—
a
a person (“P”) was subject to an isolation requirement by virtue of having arrived in Wales from, or having been in a territory to which this regulation applies, and
b
P’s last day of isolation is 10 October 2020 or a day after that day.
3
The omission by regulation 2 of the territories from Part 1 of Schedule 3 to the International Travel Regulations does not affect the isolation requirement as it applies to P, nor affect how P’s last day of isolation is determined under the International Travel Regulations.
4
Paragraph (5) applies where a person (“P”)—
a
arrives in Wales at or after 4.00 a.m. on 10 October 2020, and
b
was in a territory to which this regulation applies within the period of 14 days ending with the day of P’s arrival in Wales.
5
For the purposes of regulations 7(1) and 8(1) of the International Travel Regulations, the question of whether P has arrived in Wales from, or having been in, a non-exempt country or territory is, in relation to a territory to which this regulation applies, to be determined by reference to whether the territory was a non-exempt territory when P was last there (and not by reference to the territory’s status upon P’s arrival in Wales).
6
In this regulation, “isolation requirement” has the meaning given by regulation 10(2) of the International Travel Regulations; and references to P’s last day of isolation are to be interpreted in accordance with regulation 12 of those Regulations.
