Coronavirus (COVID-19): Tourism and Hospitality Sector

As of 9 August Scotland’s protection levels are replaced by baseline measures.  These apply across the country.

Please refer to the central guidance and familiarise yourself with the detail.  You will need to consider the guidance in relation to your business and, where necessary, make plans for how to implement them.

In summary this includes:

  • legal requirement to wear face coverings in indoor settings subject to exemptions
  • legal requirement for businesses to continue to collect contact details from customers
  • limitations on numbers attending events

All previous content for the tourism and hospitality sector guidance is now superseded by the baseline measures. The purpose of this guidance therefore is to clarify sector specific questions relating to these mitigation measures. For more information please see the frequently asked questions section.
