Question
To ask the Scottish Government when it will publish further details on Scotland’s approach to reviewing the COVID-19 restrictions currently in place.
Answer
We have today published Coronavirus (COVID-19): Framework for Decision Making: Further Information which sets out further detail of the next steps we propose to take in combatting the virus including any varying of the current restrictions, when it is safe to do so. This is a further contribution to discussion, scrutiny and understanding of our approach within Scotland, in the rest of the UK, and beyond, including discussion as part of the Four Nations process within the UK, and with delivery partners, stakeholders and the public in Scotland, as we plan our approach. Alongside this, we have today launched an online platform to provide a forum for people to engage directly with the discussion around Scotland’s next steps by submitting responses, as well as rating and commenting on responses submitted by others.
