Covid Restrictions

Most of the remaining legal requirements in the Coronavirus regulations were removed today (21 March), specifically requirements for workplaces to:

  • collect and share visitor information;
  • have regard to Scottish Government guidance about minimising risk of exposure to COVID-19 on its premises;
  • take reasonably practicable measures, as set out in the guidance, to minimise incidence and spread of COVID-19.

Guidance for businesses and workplaces on reducing the risk of COVID-19 and supporting staff and customers has been updated to reflect these changes.

A toolkit to assist businesses is available here, a further toolkit for event organisers and businesses who are continuing with the option to check COVID status is available here.

By law, people must continue to wear a face covering in most indoor public spaces, unless exempt from doing so because of specific circumstances. This will be reviewed on 29 March and any changes implemented from 4 April.

Everyone staying at your address must be included in your questionnaire.

More guidance is available to help to decide whether to include someone as usually living at your address or visiting or staying on the night of 20 March 2022.

There are various Scenarios listed:
