Weddings and sport now allowed
Scotland has officially moved into phase two of the lockdown routemap - and this is what it means for you.
From today (Friday), people who have been shielding will be able to meet with one other household outdoors and are able to leave their home for exercise.
Meanwhile, non-shielding people will be able to meet a total of two households outside and will also be able to use indoor toilets while visiting another household in groups with a maximum of eight.
From Monday, June 22, some of the measures include: places of worship being allowed to re-open for individual prayer, dental practices starting back for those with urgent care needs and face coverings will be mandatory when travelling on public transport.
Professional sport can also return from next Friday, although it will remain behind closed doors at this stage.
From Monday, June 29, a number of other relaxations have been agreed.
These include allowing retail businesses with street access to re-open, outside markets being allowed to trade, the loosening of restrictions on housing moves and the re-opening of indoor, non-office businesses such as factories, warehouses and labs.
This stage will also allow marriages and civil partnerships to finally take place - although only outdoors and with minimal attendees - and also will see zoos and outdoor attractions being permitted to open their doors for access of those within five miles only.
However, one anticipated change that has been left out of the phase two guidance is the re-opening of outdoor beer gardens, with First Minister Nicola Sturgeon saying she was unable to give a date for that change at the moment.
Announcing the measures yesterday, Ms Sturgeon sounded a cautious tone, saying:“Our progress so far is because of lockdown but the virus has not gone away.
“So as we gradually remove the restrictions that have kept it under control, there is a very real risk that transmission could rise again. That is why - if we don’t want to go backwards - we must progress carefully.”
