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 COVID-19: Framework for Decision Making – Scotland’s route map through and out of the crisis , which sets out a phased approach to carefully and gradually changing current restrictions in place to suppress the spread of Covid-19, subject to the evidence supporting that. It makes clear that we will continue to take a cautious approach that ensures that the virus is suppressed, while seeking to restore as much normality as possible when it is safe to do so.
We will also publish a summary of what we have heard through our online platform – open between 5 May and 11 May – through which we received more than 4,000 ideas and almost 18,000 comments on a range of themes.
