Covid in Scotland: What are the latest lockdown rules?



Tighter coronavirus restrictions are set to be introduced in Scotland from 26 December, with most of the country placed in level four of the country's five-tier system of
coronavirus restrictions.

The current rules will remain in place until then, but plans to relax the restrictions over Christmas have been scaled back. Household bubbles will only be allowed on
Christmas day itself, and people will only be allowed to travel outside Scotland for essential purposes.


Which level is your area in?
The new restrictions will take effect from Saturday 26 December and will last for three weeks. Every part of mainland Scotland will be in level four, while level three will apply
in Orkney, Shetland, the Western Isles and the more remote islands in Argyll and Bute and the Highlands.

Until then, the levels are:

Level three - Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Clackmannanshire, Dundee, East Ayrshire, East Dunbartonshire, East Renfrewshire, East Lothian, Edinburgh, Fife, Glasgow,
Midlothian, North Ayrshire, North Lanarkshire, Perth & Kinross, Renfrewshire, South Ayrshire, South Lanarkshire, Stirling, West Dunbartonshire, West Lothian.

Level two - Angus, Argyll & Bute, Falkirk, Inverclyde.

Level one - Borders, Dumfries & Galloway, Highland, Moray, Orkney, Shetland, Western Isles.


What are the rules for pubs and restaurants?
All pubs, restaurants and cafes must close in level four areas, although they can still serve takeaways.

In all the other levels, a maximum of six people from two households can meet together in hospitality venues, either indoors or outdoors.

Customers have to provide their contact details in case contact tracers need to reach them, and must wear face coverings while moving around and when not eating or
drinking.

It is mandatory for staff to wear face coverings, and there can only be table service.

In level one, the only additional restriction is that hospitality premises have to close at 22:30.

In level two, pubs and restaurants can only serve alcohol with a main meal indoors and must close by 20:00. Outdoors, alcohol can be consumed without a meal and
venues must close at 22:30.

In level three, premises will be allowed to open - but no alcohol can be sold, and they must close at 18:00.
