Section A: General Guidance

1. Document purpose

Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, international travel has been restricted. Strict border controls for travel to and from England remain in place and travellers (including returning UK residents) must follow the rules relating to countries they visited prior to and after arrival. Elite sports (included horseracing) have separately collaborated with UK Government to agree the minimum standards for the safe return of cross border competition for Elite Athletes (Stage Four of the five stage framework). For horseracing, an Elite Athlete can be a professional Jockey and/or the travelling support staff (Trainer and Racing Staff) who accompany the elite equine athlete and are appropriately licensed / registered with the BHA or another Recognised Racing Authority. This document interprets and applies UK Government requirements for horseracing related international travel of BHA participants and international counterparts who wish to attend a Recognised Racing Meeting held under the BHA Rules of Racing. It should be read in conjunction with the “COVID-19 Guidelines and Operating Procedures for racing industry participants, officials, and racecourse staff”. Information provided and BHA schemes are based on our current understanding and interpretation of government guidance. It is your responsibility to keep up to date with the latest official advice offered in the countries that you are departing from and travelling to.

2. BHA Contacts

We are aware that this is an ever-changing picture and will do what we can to assist you however,

please understand that if you aren’t proactive and especially if you leave contacting us until the last

minute, we are less likely to be able to process your application or provide advice and guidance.

For more information or queries regarding the content of this document, please contact the BHA’s Medical and/or Licensing Department using the following emails:

medical@brititshorseracing.com licensing@britishhorseracing.com

Section B: UK Government Guidance You do not need to take a COVID-19 test or quarantine on arrival in England if you are travelling within the UK, Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, (the Common Travel Area), and you have not been outside of the Common Travel Area in the previous 10 days.

1. England

What you must do when you arrive in England from abroad depends on where you have been in the 10 days before you arrive. The Government has introduced a traffic light system for international travel. Countries and territories are classified as red, amber or green. The colour classification tells you what you must do if you have been in those countries or territories. For your convenience, the current requirements for travel to England under the traffic light system (as at 09/08/2021) are summarised at Annex A. You need to follow the rules for the highest risk country or territory that you have been in or passed through in the previous 10 days. That can include transit stops. Key things to do if you are planning travel abroad or to England are:

1. Check the rules for the country or territory you’re going to. This can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice

3 | P a g e

2. Find out what you need to do when you return to/arrive in England. This can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/red-amber-and-green-list-rules-for-entering-england

3. Book any tests or quarantine hotel packages you need. This can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/find-travel-test-provider

Full UK government travel guidance can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/travel-abroad-from-england-during-coronavirus-covid-19 Full details of Red, amber and green list and the relevant rules for entering England can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/red-amber-and-green-list-rules-for-entering-england.

2. Scotland and Wales

There are different rules for Scotland and Wales. Find out what you need to do:

• if you are travelling to Scotland

• if you are travelling to Wales Please contact the BHA directly to discuss travel options to, from or via Scotland or Wales.

3. Ireland

Horseracing in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland is regulated by the Irish Horse Racing Board (“IHRB”). Please contact the IHRB directly to discuss arrangements for horseracing in their jurisdiction.

Section B. Overview of BHA Requirements and Schemes The BHA currently has schemes in place for industry participants who are travelling internationally for the sole purpose of horseracing competition. The purpose of these schemes is to safeguard our industry from coronavirus (COVID-19) infection whilst providing controlled routes for elite horseracing competition purposes so that:

• Domestic BHA athletes and support staff can return to training and competition in England

as soon as possible, following sports specific international travel; and

• Internationally recognised horseracing athletes and support staff can enter England and

attend a BHA Specified Event (and provide ancillary equine care) as quickly as possible.

The options available are detailed below. Some of these requirements exist to support the BHA COVID infection control measures that remain in place on the racecourse.

a) Domestic Elite Athlete Exemption (“EAE”) – Individuals who are not fully UK vaccinated

and have visited or transited through an amber country need to quarantine on return to England and comply with UK Government test requirements. If the sole purpose of travel is to attend a recognised race meeting overseas, Domestic Elite Athlete Exemption provides eligible BHA participants with exemption from quarantine requirements for the purpose of sport specific training and competition on return to England. Scheme entrants are still required to complete Government testing and additional daily tests under BHA supervision. See Section C below for full details.

b) Open Traveller –Individuals travelling to a green list country, or fully UK Vaccinated individuals travelling to (or transiting through) an amber list country are not required to self-isolate on return to England. UK Gov do still require pre-entry tests and a day 0-2 test.. BHA participants who wish to return to a GB Racecourse immediately after such international racing travel need to have their status approved by the BHA for this purpose. You may hold this status whilst using the EAE or Government schemes for other international journeys. See Section D below for full details.

4 | P a g e

c) Overseas Racing Notification – BHA participants who are not fully UK vaccinated and are not enrolled on the BHA’s EAE scheme can still race abroad. Those wishing to return to a GB racecourse after completing Government requirements should notify the BHA of their travel on completion of their Passenger Locator Form. See Section E below for full details.

d) International Participant Routes - International participants who wish to compete at a race meeting held under BHA Rules can do so after completing Government requirements.

Some international participants may wish to travel from an amber country that requires quarantine and testing measures for the sole purpose of competing at a BHA “Specified Event”. If so, the BHA International Elite Athlete Exemption (“EAE”) provides eligible participants with exemption from quarantine requirements for the purpose of sport specific training and competition after the BHA has seen and verified that the Government Day 0-2 test is negative.

International participants should notify the BHA of intended travel and make relevant application 10 days before the race meeting. See Section F below for full details.

***If you are travelling from or through a red list country, you are ineligible for any BHA

scheme assistance and must use the Government route to enter England*** The following annexes may assist with the following:

• Annex C – for BHA participants to aid with establishing the appropriate route and guide on UK Government and BHA requirements*.

• Annex D – for international participants to aid with establishing the appropriate route and guide on UK Government and BHA requirements*.

*You will need to separately ascertain requirements of any other country you are visiting / travelling from or through when making journey plans.

Section C: Domestic Elite Athlete Exemption (“EAE”) BHA participants travelling to an amber country for the sole purpose of attending a recognised race meeting and who are required to quarantine on return (because they are not fully UK Vaccinated) may apply for acceptance on the BHA’s Domestic EAE Scheme (see Section D for requirements of ‘Fully vaccinated individuals’). If you have already left Great Britain you are ineligible for this scheme. Accepted individuals will be sent written evidence to provide to UK Government on return to England. If granted EAE, individuals returning to England will be able to resume horseracing specific training and competition immediately, but must quarantine in accordance with Government requirements at all other times. All Government testing requirements are still required, together with additional daily supervised lateral flow tests for 10 continuous days after arrival. Applications must be made using the EAE England application form.

1. Domestic EAE Travel Behaviour and Requirements

1.1 2 metre social distancing must be maintained wherever possible. 1.2 A 3-layer face mask, covering your mouth and nose, must be worn where social distancing is

not possible, or as required by venue requirements. 1.3 Sharing transport must only be done if 2 metre social distancing can be adhered to.

1.4 Hand sanitizer should be used as a minimum before and after entering and exiting mode of

transport on each occasion. You should also take extra precautionary measures on

sanitisation of contact points and regularly sanitising hands.

5 | P a g e

1.5 Sharing a room must only be done if you are already a household bubble.

1.6 You must quarantine when not at the training or competition venue. You must not eat out or

attend other locations or events during your trip or whilst quarantining on return.

2. Domestic EAE Testing Requirements

2.1 Government Testing: Individuals must be tested as per UK Government coronavirus

(COVID-19) requirements whilst on the EAE scheme. All test results must be shared with the

BHA’s CMA as soon as they are received, to remain on the EAE Scheme. Current government

testing requirements for anyone who has been in or travelled through an amber list country

and/or territory are as follows:

2.1.1 A negative coronavirus (COVID-19) test result during the 3 days before you travel to

England. You must take the test in the 3 days before the service on which you will

arrive in England departs. The test must meet performance standards of ≥97%

specificity, ≥80% sensitivity at viral loads above 100,000 copies/ml. This may be a

PCR Test, LAMP test or an antigen test, such as a test from a lateral flow device. UK

Government requirements are detailed at this link.

2.1.2 PCR Tests taken on or before Day-2 and on or after Day-8: booked via this link. (Nb.

Day-0 = day of arrival in GB).

2.1.3 Optional Test to Release test (for early release from quarantine) taken after you have been in England for 5 full days: booked via this link.

2.2 BHA EAE Testing: Individuals will need to undertake daily supervised Lateral Flow Tests

for 10 continuous days from and including the day of return. The cost of these tests will be borne by the applicant. These tests may be taken face to face at NHS Community Testing Centres or using a BHA approved supervised online test provider. Details of providers are outlined at Annex B.

2.3 You cannot use an NHS PCR test for any of the above tests (these may only be taken if you

have coronavirus symptoms).

3. Domestic EAE Post Travel Behaviour

3.1 Except when undertaking horseracing specific training or competition, individuals granted

EAE must quarantine as per UK Government requirements. The quarantine period is continuous from the day you arrive in England and lasts for the next 10 full consecutive days after the day you arrived up until midnight of day 10. For the purposes of counting days, the day after arrival is considered ‘day one’.

3.2 Quarantine does not end until you have received both a negative result from your Day-8 test

and quarantined for 10 days, or have ended your quarantine early after 5 days, using the Test to Release for international travel scheme.

3.3 2 metre social distancing must be maintained wherever possible and we strongly encourage

best practice of wearing a 3 layer face covering at all times at the yard and as required by Behind Closed Doors Operating Procedures. If riding out a leg up may be received provided face coverings are worn.

3.4 You must travel alone to training (the yard) or competition (racecourse). No car sharing is

permitted. 3.5 You must take extra precautionary measures such as sanitising contact points and regularly

sanitising hands.
