The Prime Minister of the decentralized government of Scotland, Nicola Sterzion, announced the lifting of the restrictions imposed next Monday due to the outbreak of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus.
Specifically, from January 24, the capacity limits at public events in indoor areas are lifted, the obligation to keep a distance of one meter in indoor areas, the obligation of restaurants to take orders and serve alcohol only at the table and not at the bar, while reopening the nightclubs. The directive for mixing people from up to three different households indoors is also repealed.
Mandatory use of the mask indoors and on public transport will remain in force. The obligation to present a vaccination certificate at events with more than a thousand spectators will also be maintained.
