Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

These regulations add COVID-19 to the diseases covered by the Mandatory Testing (Infectious Diseases) Act 2014 (regulation 3), so the Act’s powers to require testing can be used for COVID-19. Regulations 1–2 set the instrument’s citation and staggered commencement (regulation 2). The regulation does not set testing procedures, costs or enforcement detail; it operates by linking COVID-19 to the Act’s existing compulsory-testing framework and thus changes who may be required to submit to testing (r.3).
