Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on the coronavirus legislation in place.
Answer
Amending Regulations have today been made to the Health Protection (Coronavirus) (Restrictions and Requirements) (Local Levels) (Scotland) Regulations 2020. These Regulations implement the changes to the level allocations that the First Minister announced on Tuesday, 15 December. The Regulations also allow in-home socialising to take place on some additional Scottish islands and adjust the restrictions in Level 0 and Level 1 in respect of marriage and civil partnership receptions and funeral wakes.
These Regulations also make an amendment to the Health Protection (Coronavirus) (Protection from Eviction) (Scotland) Regulations 2020 to reflect the true policy intention of those Regulations.
