Easing of Restrictions

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.
