Please share widely; the media's focus on what's happening in England may end up confusing people here.

"Yesterday, I announced one change to the guidance here in Scotland which means that, from today, people will be able to leave home to exercise more than once a day, provided that they remain close to home and observe social distancing rules.

That does not apply to households where someone has symptoms of Covid-19, or to people who are in the shielded group. In those cases, people should still stay at home completely.

And for everybody, all the other current lockdown restrictions remain in place.

The advice remains to stay at home except for essential purposes such as exercise, or buying food or medicines; to stay more than two meters from other people and not to meet up with people from other households; to wear a face covering when in a shop or on public transport – and to isolate completely if you or someone else in your household has symptoms."

If we were to do that, we would risk lives and lose all the progress we’ve made so far, potentially causing a dangerous second spike of the virus. That is a risk we cannot afford to take.
