Scotland to lift restrictions on 24 January

Restrictions on large outdoor events in Scotland came to an end on 17 January.  From 24 January:

  • Limits on attendance at indoor public events, the requirement for 1m physical distancing and table service in hospitality venues and the requirement for nightclubs to close will also be removed
  • Face coverings are still required in indoor settings such as shops and hospitality venues and public transport.  

Employers must still enable staff to work from home where possible, although it is hoped to return to a more hybrid approach from February. Read the rules here.
