Signed at 21.30 on 10 March, the PHR (Amendment) (no.10) 2021 makes changes to the right to exercise for self-isolating persons which had been created by the PHR (Amendment) (no.9) 2021, signed at 17.40 on 10 March. So my comment on no.9 is accurate for a period of a little less than four hours, and was inaccurate when written (because no.10 had already come into force before it was publicly available).
This PHR adds to all three rights to leave self-isolation to exercise a requirement that no person in the household is infected (new reg.15(5), 20(5B), 21(5AA)). This is described as a clarification, but it is actually a change. The 17.40 amendment specifically stated that a person could exercise in company with a member of their household who is not infected – a limit on the company for exercise, not the right to exercise, which did however consider the position of a person in a household with an infected person. It is a sensible, and clear, change.
This PHR also adds to the category B right to exercise an explicit requirement to wear a face covering and keep a distance of 2m from any person not a member of the household (reg.15(6)). In doing so it brings category B exercise in line with category C – clearly the drafters were influenced by my suggesting this some 10 hours after they had made this change. It is a sensible, and clear, change.
