Phase 1: Social distancing over the weekend
Nicola Sturgeon said she was “conscious” that this will be the first weekend where lockdown measures have been eased to the point where people in Scotland can meet those from another household.
The First Minister reiterated her calls to ensure that any meetings with other households adhere to social distancing guidelines, as well as ensuring that items such as cutlery and food are not shared and people do not enter homes that are not their own.
She also asked that people avoid crowds at parks and beauty spots across the country, urging people to go elsewhere if areas are busy.
Ms Sturgeon said the changes would improve the lives of Scots, but added that she was still “nervous” about the easing of measures.
She said: “I’m not trying to cramp anyone’s fun… but I am asking for you to do it responsibly.
“If you are in doubt about whether your plans are within the rules or not, err on the side of caution.
“However harsh these rules might feel right now, and I know that they do, abiding by them will never, ever be as harsh as grieving the loss of a loved one.”
