Updated 8 December 2021
You can find the latest information and guidance on Coronavirus, the symptoms, staying safe and protecting others, on the NHS Inform and Scottish Government websites.
Prevention
Stopping the spread starts with all of us.
Scotland moved beyond the Protection Levels system on 9 August. However, the virus is still with us and so the Scottish Government’s advice to the general population is that they should continue to do the following:
- get the vaccine when you are offered it
- wear a face covering, clean hands and surfaces regularly
- avoid crowded places and keep your distance from other people where possible
- meet outside if you can, and open windows when indoors
- if you have symptoms get a test and stay at home
- take regular tests if you don’t have symptoms to reduce the risk of spreading the virus
- use the Protect Scotland and Check-in Scotland apps
