Text of the Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel) (England) Regulations 2020 as in force today (including any amendments) within the United Kingdom, from legislation.gov.uk.

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.
