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
The First Minister has today announced that, as a result of the efforts of the public in sticking with the restrictions of lockdown, sufficient progress has been made in supressing the virus to enable us to move to Phase 1 of COVID-19: Framework for Decision Making – Scotland’s route map through and out of the crisis.
The Scottish Government has also reviewed the regulations and guidance which underpin the current lockdown, and have concluded these must remain in place for now, with the exception of those being adjusted through the Phase 1 changes.
We will publish an update to the route map on Friday, showing the move to Phase 1.
