The Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel) (England) Regulations 2020 (SI 2020/568) is a statutory instrument (SI) made on 2 June 2020 by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Matt Hancock, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The regulations aimed to reduce the possibility of infection spreading from travellers from overseas. They imposed requirements from 8 June 2020 on certain categories of travellers arriving in England from outside the Common Travel Area (all regions of the United Kingdom plus the Republic of Ireland, the Channel Islands and Isle of Man). Travellers falling within the regulations had to provide specified information on entry, and some had to undergo a fourteen-day period of self-isolation (later reduced to ten days).

As initially made, the requirements applied in respect of all travel to England from anywhere outside the Common Travel Area, but from 10 July 2020 travellers from a list of "exempt countries and territories" were not subject to the requirement to self-isolate. Later amendments introduced further refinements including "additional measures" imposed on travellers from certain areas, and rules banning all flights and vessels from some high-risk regions.

The SI related to England only; there were separate regulations for travellers to Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

On 17 May 2021 the regulations were revoked and replaced by The Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel and Operator Liability) (England) Regulations 2021.

Regulations

Legal basis and commencement

The Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel) (England) Regulations 2020 (SI 2020/568) were introduced by way of a statutory instrument made by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Matt Hancock, using emergency powers available to him under sections 45B, 45F(2) and 45P(2) of the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984.Шаблон:Sfnp The regulations came into effect on 8 June 2020.Шаблон:Sfnp

Requirement to provide information

The regulations applied to most travellers who arrived in England from outside the Common Travel Area (CTA), i.e. all regions of the United Kingdom plus the Republic of Ireland, the Channel Islands and Isle of Man.Шаблон:Sfnp[1] Travellers were required to provide information about themselves and their intended address or addresses in England for the following 14 days.Шаблон:Sfnp The same applied to travellers arriving from within the CTA who have been outside the CTA in the 14 days preceding their arrival.Шаблон:Sfnp

The required information included the passenger's personal data, journey details, and details of the place they intended to self-isolate.Шаблон:Sfnp A passenger locator form had to be completed on arrival into England,Шаблон:Sfnp or, for passengers on the Eurotunnel Shuttle, at immigration control in Calais.Шаблон:Sfnp Passengers could complete the form in advanceШаблон:Sfnp as long as they provided proof of having done so if requested.Шаблон:Sfnp

Members of diplomatic or consular missions, representatives of international organisations afforded privileges and immunities in the UK, diplomatic and consular couriers, government representatives on official business, and members of their households were exempted from the requirement to provide this information;Шаблон:Sfnp although between 7 and 28 November 2020 this exemption was not available to any person who had been in Denmark in the 14 days before arriving in England.Шаблон:Sfnp

By October 2020, the government concluded that the level of compliance with the requirement to provide information was "sub-optimal".Шаблон:Sfnp The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Public Health Information for Passengers Travelling to England) (Amendment) Regulations 2020 (SI 2020/1090) placed additional requirements on travel operators to provide information to passengers, including a requirement to provide information relating to compliance with these requirements and health guidance. Such information was required to be provided to passengers within the period 24–48 hours before departure to England.Шаблон:Sfnp From 1 February 2021, transport operators who did not ensure passengers they carried into England had completed the form could also be fined or prosecuted.Шаблон:Sfnp

Requirement to self-isolate

SI 2020/568, as originally made, required all travellers who entered England from outside the Common Travel Area, or who had been outside the Common Travel Area in the fourteen days prior to their arrival in England, to self-isolate from others for a period of time.Шаблон:Sfnp Amendments to the regulations (see below) varied this general requirement in respect of certain countries.

Self-isolating travellers had to go directly to the place where they were to self-isolate and remain there until the end of the 14th day after which they entered the Common Travel Area, or the date they left England.Шаблон:Sfnp From 14 December 2020 the self-isolation period was reduced to 10 days.Шаблон:Sfnp

Those within their periods of self-isolation could not leave or be outside the place where they were self-isolating except:

  • to travel to leave England, provided they did so directlyШаблон:Sfnp
  • to seek medical assistanceШаблон:Sfnp
  • to fulfil a legal obligation such as to attend court, satisfy bail conditions, or participate in legal proceedingsШаблон:Sfnp
  • to avoid injury or illness or to escape a risk of harmШаблон:Sfnp
  • on compassionate grounds, such as attending certain funeralsШаблон:Sfnp
  • to move to a different place of self-isolationШаблон:Sfnp
  • in exceptional circumstances, for example to obtain basic necessities such as food or medical supplies where these could not be obtained in any other manner; to access critical public services; or to move to a different address if it became impractical to remain at the self-isolation address.Шаблон:Sfnp

'Test to release', from 15 December 2020

From 15 December 2020, amendments brought in by The Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel) (England) (Amendment) (No. 26) Regulations 2020 (SI 2020/1337) provided a 'test to release' regime which allowed some self-isolation periods to be reduced from 10 days (previously 14 days) to five.Шаблон:Sfnp The traveller had to take a government-validated private COVID-19 test on or after the fifth day from last being in a non-exempt country,Шаблон:Sfnp and receive a negative result.Шаблон:Sfnp The regime applied only to private tests, a negative result from the NHS test not counting for this purpose.Шаблон:Sfnp Anyone who received a positive or an unclear result had to remain in self-isolation. The regulations set out rules whereby private suppliers could have their tests officially validated for use under this regime.Шаблон:Sfnp On 17 December 2020, further requirements were imposed on private providers of COVID-19 tests by The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Testing Requirements and Standards) (England) Regulations 2020.Шаблон:Sfnp From 24 December 2020, 'test to release' was disapplied to countries subject to 'additional measures'.Шаблон:Sfnp

Exempt countries and territories

On 10 July 2020 a list of exempt countries and territories was introduced. Travellers arriving in England who in the preceding 14 days had been in or had transited only through a country or territory on the exempt list did not have to self-isolate.Шаблон:Sfnp

The table below lists all the places which were at any point on the exempt list or which were subject to additional restrictions beyond the standard requirement to self-isolate. Travellers from any place not listed in this table had to self-isolate during the entire period the regulations were in force.

The list of countries with exemptions and additional restrictions was last amended by SI 2021/571, in force from 12 May 2021. Persons travelling from all countries listed in the table below ceased to be subject to these rules on the repeal of the regulations on 17 May 2021 but many were subject to continued restrictions under the newly-created The Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel and Operator Liability) (England) Regulations 2021 from that date.

The colour-coding is based on the final legally-binding regulations – ignoring government 'guidelines' and political statements – as enacted prior to the repeal of the rules on 17 May 2021. These are subject to a variety of exceptions, summarised below.

Travellers entering England from any place not listed in this table had to self-isolate.

Key (based on the latest enforceable regulations)
No self-isolation. Country is in the Common Travel Area, so the regulations did not apply.
No self-isolation, but had to possess a negative test result. There were no countries where this applied as at 17 May 2021
Self-isolation required. Had possess a negative test result. Was previously exempt. Could use "test to release" on the fifth day after arriving
Red list countries: mandatory hotel isolation required at approved quarantine accommodation for at least 10 days. Had to arrive via an approved airport, with both accommodation and COVID-19 tests for days 2 and 8 pre-booked
Arrival of all flights/vessels banned
* indicates a British Overseas Territory

Transitional rules

A passenger who arrived in the UK from a country which was later removed from the exemption list did not then need to self-isolate. A passenger who arrived in the UK from a country which later became exempt still had to complete their 14-day self-isolation.Шаблон:Sfnp

Exempt classes of traveller

Certain classes of traveller, particularly those who need to cross the border for work purposes, were exempt from self-isolation or subject to modified requirements. These included, subject to a complex variety of conditions:Шаблон:Sfnp

Special rules for high risk countries

Starting from 7 November 2020, additional stricter requirements were applied to passengers arriving from certain high-risk countries. These were variously referred to as "additional measures", and the "red list".

Denmark (7–28 November 2020)

Following the Cluster 5 mutation of COVID-19 in Denmark in November 2020, special restrictions were applied to travel from that country. From 7 November 2020, all exemptions from completing the passenger locator form and from self-isolation ceased to apply to anyone arriving from Denmark, and a requirement to self-isolate for 14 days was extended to anyone in the same household as a traveller who had been in Denmark.Шаблон:Sfnp A ban on entry to the UK on all travellers from Denmark (except hauliers and British citizens and residents) was also announced.[2][3] From 8 November, passenger flights and vessels departing Denmark were banned from landing in England except in an emergency.Шаблон:Sfnp An exemption was added on 14 November covering professional sportspeople and their support teams arriving in connection with certain football matches.Шаблон:Sfnp On 28 November 2020, all of the additional Denmark-specific restrictions were revoked.Шаблон:Sfnp

'Additional measures' (23 December 2020 – 15 February 2021)

See table above for 'additional measures' countries and applicable date ranges.

From the end of December, more restrictive 'additional measures' started to be selectively applied to certain countries and regions. These additional measures required non-exempted arrivals who had been in or transited through any 'additional measures' country during the preceding 14 days, along with members of their households, to self-isolate for 10 days. The “Test to Release” option was not available for those people.Шаблон:Sfnp

Hauliers who had been in Portugal only (including the Azores and Madeira), but not the other listed countries, were exempt.Шаблон:SfnpШаблон:Sfnp

Red list countries and hotel quarantine (from 15 February 2021)

See table above for red list ('additional measures') countries and applicable date ranges.

On 15 February 2021 the 'additional measures' rules were significantly tightened, and the 'additional measures' countries became officially known as the 'red list'.Шаблон:Sfnp From that date, non-exempted international travellers who had been in or transited through any red list country during the preceding 10 daysШаблон:Sfnp were permitted to enter England only via one of the approved airports, namely Heathrow, Gatwick, London City, Birmingham and Farnborough, Bristol (from 24 April 2021Шаблон:Sfnp), or via any military airfield or port.Шаблон:Sfnp

In accordance with previous rules, the traveller was required to be in possession on arrival of a notification of a negative COVID-19 test result.Шаблон:Sfnp In addition, such passengers now also had to be in possession of a booking for approved quarantine accommodation, a booking for approved transport to that accommodation, and a 'testing package' comprising bookings for COVID-19 tests at days 2 and 8 after arrival.Шаблон:Sfnp Certain 'reasonable excuses' for non-compliance were accepted, including disability, urgent medical treatment, and lack of access to booking facilities in the departure and transit countries.Шаблон:Sfnp

At the quarantine accommodation, the traveller had to isolate for at least 10 days, and undergo the day 2 and day 8 tests in good time,Шаблон:Sfnp although replacement tests were allowed for with 'reasonable excuse'.Шаблон:Sfnp If either were missed, or did not return a negative result, the quarantine period was extended.Шаблон:Sfnp The tests could be undertaken either by a private provider or (for an official fee) by a public provider.Шаблон:Sfnp

Travellers who were required to isolate could do so together with anyone with whom they were travelling.Шаблон:Sfnp They could not leave the designated accommodation except:Шаблон:Sfnp

  • to travel directly to a port to leave the Common Travel Area
  • to fulfil a legal obligation
  • to take exercise
  • to visit a dying person or attend a funeral
  • in other exceptional circumstances such as medical assistance, to access critical public services, to escape risk of harm
  • to access urgent veterinary services.

Leaving for the purpose of exercise, to visit a dying person or attend a funeral required prior permission from an authorised person.Шаблон:Sfnp

Police officers and other officially authorised persons were empowered to enforce the regulations to direct the traveller to travel to and remain in the accommodation, to remove the traveller to the accommodation, to require the production of papers, to detain for up to three hours, to carry out personal (non-intimate) searches of the person and baggage, and to seize articles found.Шаблон:Sfnp

Police officers were also given the power to enter premises to search for persons suspected of illegally avoiding isolation, and to remove them (using force if necessary) to their designated accommodation.Шаблон:Sfnp

Arrivals banned

Flights and vessels arriving in England from certain high-risk areas were halted at various times by the regulations, the first instance being the banning of flights from Denmark between 7 and 28 November 2020.Шаблон:SfnpШаблон:Sfnp

From 24 December 2020:

Direct passenger flights from South Africa were banned.Шаблон:Sfnp Exemptions applied to UK government planes or vessels, emergency landings, and air ambulances.

From 15 January 2021:

Direct passenger flights from Argentina, Brazil, Cape Verde, Chile, and Portugal were banned, as were ferries or other passenger vessels arriving from Portugal.Шаблон:Sfnp Exemptions applied to UK government planes or vessels, emergency landings or moorings, and air ambulances.Шаблон:Sfnp

Requirement for negative coronavirus test

The Regulations were amended with effect from 15 January 2021 by SI 2021/38.Шаблон:Sfnp From that date, a passenger arriving in England from outside the Common Travel Area had to possess a notification of a negative COVID-19 test from a sample taken no more than three days before they departed for the UK, unless exempt.Шаблон:Sfnp NHS tests were not accepted.Шаблон:Sfnp

Exemptions applied to:

  • Children aged under 11 Шаблон:Sfnp
  • Those in certain professions: Шаблон:Sfnp
    • Border and customs officials
    • Channel Tunnel system workers
    • Hauliers
    • Air, maritime, and rail crew
    • Civil aviation inspectors
    • Travellers transporting human cells or blood products
    • Seamen and masters, inspectors, and surveyors of ships
  • Travellers returning from conducting essential state business or essential, emergency, or policing work outside the UK and having a certificate of exemption from their departmentШаблон:Sfnp
  • Foreign diplomats or government officials travelling on official business and holding exemption certificates from the Foreign Commonwealth and Development OfficeШаблон:Sfnp
  • Workers with certain specialist technical skills.Шаблон:Sfnp

Travellers had a 'reasonable excuse' not to possess a negative COVID-19 test if one of the following applied:Шаблон:Sfnp

  • The traveller was medically unfit to undergo a test and possessed a medical certificate to that effect
  • It was not reasonably practicable for the traveller to obtain a test owing to a disability
  • The traveller required medical treatment with such urgency that obtaining a test was not reasonably practicable
  • The traveller contracted coronavirus and required emergency medical treatment
  • The traveller was accompanying a traveller requiring emergency treatment and obtaining a test was not reasonably practicable
  • The traveller originated in a country or territory where tests were not available or it was not reasonably practicable to obtain one there or at any transfer point
  • The traveller's journey to their last departure point to England took so long that it was not reasonably practicable to obtain a test in the three days prior to departure, nor at any transfer point.

Tests after arrival

From 15 February 2021, travellers aged 5 and up arriving in England from outside the Common Travel Area, or arriving having been outside the Common Travel Area in the preceding 10 days, were required to purchase a testing package, consisting of a day 2 test and a day 8 test.Шаблон:Sfnp The day 2 test had to be taken on or before the second full day after arrival in England, and the day 8 test had to be taken on or after the eighth full day after arrival.Шаблон:Sfnp Unless the traveller was in a 'managed self-isolation facilit'y (government-approved accommodation), they could use the "test to release" option as before.Шаблон:Sfnp If a test was missed, the self-isolation period was extended from 10 days to 14.Шаблон:Sfnp A positive test resulted in the traveller and anyone else self-isolating with them being required to self-isolate for 10 days from the date of the test, and they became prohibited from leaving the country for that time.Шаблон:Sfnp If the day 2 and day 8 tests were both negative, the traveller could leave self-isolation after completing the 10 full days, or when they received the negative day 8 result if later.Шаблон:Sfnp

Offences and enforcement

The regulations created the new offences of:Шаблон:Sfnp

  • Failing to complete the passenger locator form
  • Failing to self-isolate as required
  • Failing to comply with an authorised person's direction
  • Providing false or misleading passenger information
  • Obstructing a person carrying out a function under the regulations.

Enforcement of the regulations was in the hands of the police and immigration officers.Шаблон:Sfnp Breaches of the regulations attracted a fixed penalty notice. Breaches relating to self-isolation initially attracted a fixed penalty of £1,000,Шаблон:Sfnp later increased to an amount on sliding scale between £1000 and £10,000.Шаблон:Sfnp Breaches relating to the provision of information attracted a penalty of £100 for the first offence, increasing on a sliding scale to £3,200;Шаблон:Sfnp with effect from 18 January 2021 this was increased to £500 to £4,000.Шаблон:Sfnp Offenders could alternatively face prosecution.Шаблон:Sfnp

Review and revocation

The regulations had to be reviewed every 28 days (originally 21).Шаблон:Sfnp They were initially set to expire on 7 June 2021,Шаблон:Sfnp but in the event were revoked and replaced on 17 May 2021 by The Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel and Operator Liability) (England) Regulations 2021.Шаблон:Sfnp
