They add the Greek island of Crete to, and remove Italy, San Marino and Vatican City State from, the list of exempt countries and territories in Schedule A1 from which passengers arriving in England are not required to self-isolate. Passengers are not required to self-isolate on arrival in England if, during the 14 days preceding their arrival, they have only been in or transited through exempt countries or territories, or exempt parts of countries or territories. Passengers who have been in or transited through a non-exempt country or territory, or a non-exempt part of a country or territory, must self‑isolate until 14 days have elapsed since the day after they last left a non-exempt country or territory, or a non-exempt part of a country or territory. The changes to Schedule A1 will not affect passengers who arrive in England before 4.00 a.m. on 18th October 2020. An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument.
