- The size of groups which can meet in homes, gardens, pubs or restaurants in Scotland has been cut to six people from two households.
- If you’re not exempt, wear a face mask indoors in places where social distancing is difficult like shops, public transport, cinemas and museums. You can take them off when eating and drinking.
- You should continue to keep a 2-metre distance between others.
There are tighter rules in Glasgow, Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire, East Dunbartonshire, West Dunbartonshire, North Lanarkshire, South Lanarkshire, which have seen cases rise sharply.
