A significant milestone for the easing of Scottish Covid restrictions is just around the corner on Monday 5th April 2021.
From Monday coming, these include:
- the resumption of outdoor contact sport for 12-17 year olds
- return of college students within the top three priority groups identified by Colleges Scotland as most likely not to complete this academic year (estimated as 29% of learners)
- reopening of non-essential ‘click and collect’ retail
- extending the list of retail permitted to include:
° garden centres (indoor and outdoor)
° key cutting shops
° mobility equipment shops
° baby equipment shops
° electrical repair shops
° hairdressers and barbers (with shopfronts – not mobile services), by appointment only
° homeware shops
° vehicle showrooms (appointment only) and forecourts
This will be good news for many businesses and is a small start towards a time coming very soon, where we look forward to trading returning with a degree of normality.
