The Department of Health has made a Statutory Rule entitled "The Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel, Operator Liability and Information to Passengers) (Amendment No. 3) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2021", (S.R. 2021 No. 214) which came into operation at 5.00 pm on 19 July 2021.

This Rule amends the Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2021, to exclude arrivals who have been in Metropolitan France in the 10 days prior to arriving in Northern Ireland from claiming the fully vaccinated traveller exemption. It also amends the wording to reflect the requirement of declaration on the Passenger Locator Form for those claiming the fully vaccinated traveller exemption.

The Rule also amends the Health Protection (Coronavirus, Operator Liability and Information to Passengers) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2021 to introduce a provision whereby regulation 4A of the Passenger Information Regulations does not apply in the case of the operator of a relevant service which commences in Metropolitan France.
