The Department of Health has made a Statutory Rule entitled "The Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2020", (S.R. 2020 No. 90) which came into operation on 8th June 2020.

The Rule imposes requirements on individuals arriving in Northern Ireland and who have been in a country outside the common travel area (that is, the open borders area comprising the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, the Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands) in order to prevent the spread of infection or contamination from coronavirus or coronavirus disease.

The Rule requires those people (i) to provide information including contact details and details of their intended onward travel, and (ii) to self-isolate for a period of 14 days following their arrival in the common travel area. Certain categories of person, including flight crew etc. are exempt from the requirements.

The Rule also requires people who arrive in Northern Ireland from another part of the Common Travel Area, and who have been outside the common travel area, to self-isolate until 14 days after their arrival into the Common Travel Area.
