Scottish Government Covid Update

> From Monday, phased return to hybrid office working, following appropriate guidance, with workers spending some time in the office and some time at home.

> From Friday, requirement for 2m physical distancing reduced to 1m for indoor settings where people have specific exemption from wearing a face covering (e.g. people leading religious services).

> Change to guidance on organised activities for children - face coverings no longer required for adults taking part in organised activities directly interacting with children under the age of 5.

> From Friday 11 February, fully vaccinated travellers will no longer need to take a test after they arrive in Scotland – passenger locator form still required.

> New Distance Aware scheme launched, to help people who might be worried about going out. Badges and lanyards available at mobile and community libraries and most ASDAs. They indicate to other people that the person would like a bit of extra space and care taken.
