Up to two million people in Scotland are now living under the strongest covid-19 restrictions, until 11 December at the earliest. Undoubtedly, this will include a large number of people in the TSC community.
Areas including Glasgow are now in the ‘Level four’ tier for covid-19, which is the highest level in Scotland for steps towards restricting the spread of covid-19.
The restrictions mean that:
- You must not visit other people’s homes, but can still meet outdoors with up to six people from two households
- People should stay at or close to home as much as possible
- Those who can work from home should do so – although construction and manufacturing workplaces can remain open
- Only essential indoor retail premises will remain open
- Close contact services, such as hairdressers and beauty salons, visitor attractions, leisure and entertainment settings and indoor gyms will close
- With the exception of takeaway services, hospitality premises must also shut
Despite these restrictions, schools remain open
The areas now living under Level Four are:
- East Ayrshire
- East Dunbartonshire
- East Renfrewshire
- Glasgow City
- Renfrewshire
- South Ayrshire
- South Lanarkshire
- Stirling
- West Dunbartonshire
- West Lothian
