oct 7, 2020 - Further measures introduced in Scotland

Description:

Scottish Government announce new temporary measures, restricting hospitality opening times to 6am-6pm indoors, with no sales of alcohol.

Premises may open outdoors until 10pm, with sales of alcohol. All licensed premises in the central belt area will be required to close, with the exception of takeaway services. Outdoor live events, adult contact sports and indoor group exercise classes (18+) are to be paused. Snooker/pool halls, indoor bowling, casinos and bingo halls are to close. Shops across Scotland are asked to return to two metres physical distancing and reintroduce the mitigations they put in place earlier in the pandemic, including one-way systems.

The new restrictions will be backed by a £40 million support fund for business and the existing UK Job Retention Scheme and will be in place nationwide for 16 days.
