Covid restrictions ease as Scotland moves to level zero
Scotland has moved to SLOTXO the lowest level of Covid restrictions as it continues on its roadmap out of lockdown.
Until now only some islands had been in level zero but the rest of the country was in level one or level two.
The move to level zero means more people will be allowed to meet indoors and attend weddings and funerals.
However, some limits on outdoor meetings are to be maintained, and the mandatory use of face coverings is to remain in place for “some time”.
Under the level zero rules up to eight adults from four households can meet indoors at home, and up to 10 can meet in a pub or restaurant – with no need to pre-book a two-hour slot.
Up to 15 people from 15 households can meet outdoors and up to 200 can attend weddings and funerals.
Last week, the rules planned for level zero were modified due to the spread of the more contagious Delta variant.
In light of high case numbers, hospitality venues will be required to close at midnight and some physical distancing will have to be maintained outdoors, with different groups of 15 required to stay at least 1m (3ft 3in) apart in public spaces – meaning there may be limits on some outdoor events.
A “gradual” return to office working has now been put back to 9 August.
