Scotland Enters Phase 2 of Lifting Restrictions In Route Out Of COVID Lockdown

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has today announced a raft of new changes to social distancing guidelines as the country moves to Phase 2 of lifting restrictions.

From tomorrow anyone who lives on their own – or only with children – can form an “extended group” with one other household.

Those not shielding can now meet with up to two other households outdoors, but in a group of no more than eight.

“Street-access” stores, but not shopping centres, can open from 29 June.

Face coverings will be mandatory on public transport from Monday, 22 June.
