CORONAVIRUS UPDATE 7TH OCTOBER 2020

First Minister statement summary

All pubs and restaurants across central Scotland are to be closed under new measures aimed at tackling a surge in coronavirus cases.

The new rules will apply to licensed premises across the central belt, including Glasgow and Edinburgh. They focus on 18 council and five health board areas: Greater Glasgow and Clyde; Lothian; Lanarkshire; Ayrshire and Arran; and Forth Valley.

Pubs and restaurants will be able to open in other parts of Scotland – but can only serve alcohol outdoors.

The new rules, which will be in force from 18:00 on Friday until 25 October, apply to about 3.4 million people.
There will be no mandatory travel ban, but people in central Scotland are being advised to restrict movement to their local area.

The Scottish Craft Butchers office in Perth is now closed following government guidelines.
