Shops reopen in Scotland as lockdown restrictions ease
Stores of all sizes can reopen - but only if they have outdoor entrances and exits.Outdoor markets are also able to open.Scotland's national clinical director Prof Leitch said:"I look forward to people going to the shops and supporting local businesses, but I want them to do it with face coverings, with physical distancing, with taking patience, so they only go into the shops when there's room to do so."It is not back to normal. This is not the Boxing Day sales.
Healthcare premises such as optometry practices are also now able to see patients face-to-face for emergency and essential eye care. Outdoor visitor attractions such as zoos and safari parks, along with gardens can reopen, but for local access only -"broadly within five miles" - until a further easing of restrictions expected in early July.
