Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I move the motion before us. There's only set of amending regulations to be considered today—the Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel and Restrictions) (Amendment) (No. 3) (Wales) Regulations 2021. Members will be aware that, in response to the emergence of several variances of COVID-19, we have temporarily suspended all travel corridors. Countries with strong travel connections to areas where the new strains have been detected are considered a high risk of transmission. Enhanced isolation requirements have also been introduced in relation to travellers arriving into Wales from these countries. 

On review of the latest assessments, I have decided that the enhanced isolation requirements should continue to apply to the current list of countries. As a result of these regulations, the Democratic Republic of Congo and the United Republic of Tanzania have also been added to this list. These restrictions will be reviewed again in three weeks. All travellers arriving into Wales who have been in these high-risk countries in the previous 10 days will be required to isolate for 10 days. They will only be able to leave isolation in very limited circumstances. These tighter isolation requirements will also apply to all members of their household.

The regulations have also been amended to only allow aircraft and vessels travelling directly from a country or a territory subject to enhanced isolation requirements to arrive in Wales in exceptional circumstances. Although not provided for by these regulations, Members will no doubt be aware that discussions are ongoing with the UK Government and other Governments within the UK to strengthen border measures. A number of options are being considered, including managed quarantine and enhanced enforcement of at-home isolation, and additional testing for all travellers.

There remains a great deal of detail to work through after the headline announcements that were made last week. The Welsh Government will continue to work closely with other UK administrations to carefully consider the necessary arrangements to keep people safe. I ask Members to support these regulations, which we believe continue to be an essential part of keeping Wales safe.
