Scotland and Wales will be divided into regions under Guernsey's travel guidance.

The Civil Contingencies Authority says it has been made possible following further analysis of infection levels across the countries. Regional variations have already been introduced for England.

Major cities such as Cardiff, Edinburgh and Glasgow all currently fall into regions categorised as Group A, meaning inbound passengers travelling from those locations must self isolate for 14 days on arrival into the Bailiwick.

Effective today (1 October), both Scotland and Wales will be divided up into four regions.

Scotland

  • East Scotland

  • West Scotland

  • North Scotland

  • Scottish Islands (Including Orkney, Shetlands, Western Isles)

Wales

  • Mid Wales

  • North Wales

  • South East Wales

  • South West Wales

The CAA says the measures will be reviewed daily to balance the risks to the Bailiwick against the restrictions they place on islanders.
