From this Friday (14 August)

A couple of covid-19 rule changes this week.

📅 From this Friday (14 August) hospitality premises must collect customer contact details for Test and Protect.
📋 Tables should be pre-booked where possible, with no queueing.
🤫 There should be no background music and TVs should be muted to reduce the need for people to shout or lean in to each other.
👫 No more than three households at a time should be meeting in a group.

Since Saturday (8 August) there are more places where face coverings must legally be worn in Scotland.
