Update for Shielders in Scotland

[doonhamer1967]

Those shielding should still only work from home and should avoid shops, pharmacies and other situations where their ability to maintain physical distancing is affected.

We continue to advise those who are shielding to maintain physical distancing, not to meet with members of another household indoors, and those who are shielding should not form extended households.

Outdoor activity

We advise that you can go outdoors for a walk, wheel, run or cycle. We are expanding our advice so you can also take part in non-contact outdoor activities such as golf, hiking, canoeing, outdoor swimming, angling, etc:.

you should maintain strict physical distancing at all times, even if you live with the person you are out with. This means keeping 2 metres (or three steps) away from other people at all times.

choose times and areas that are quiet, if you can

wash your hands for at least 20 seconds as soon as you get back home

Meeting family and friends

You can now meet up with another household outdoors, including in gardens, but following advice on physical distancing. You should not meet more than 7 people at once, nor with people from more than 1 household per day.

If you have to go into someone else’s house to access a garden – do so quickly and without touching anything. You should not use the toilet in someone else’s house.
