COVID-19: What are the new coronavirus rules in Scotland? What areas are moving to Level 1?

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has announced a 'slight slowing down' in the lifting of lockdown rules for much of Scotland amid the spread of the Indian variant of coronavirus

Ms Sturgeon added there could even have been an argument to move these areas into Level 3 restrictions, given the raw figures on COVID cases, but the impact of the vaccination programme had meant this would not be needed.

Under Level 2 restrictions, pubs, bars and restaurants in the city will be allowed to serve alcohol indoors, six people from three households can meet inside homes and stay overnight, and people will be able to hug loved ones. These are Highland, Argyll & Bute, Aberdeen city and Aberdeenshire, Moray, Angus, Perth & Kinross, Falkirk, Fife, Inverclyde, East and West Lothian, West Dunbartonshire, Dumfries & Galloway and the Borders.
