Covid in Scotland: Indoor visits and hugging allowed - BBC News
People will be allowed to meet indoors again, initially in groups of up to six from three households, and they will be allowed to hug.
Lockdown is being eased a little faster than the Scottish government originally planned.

Allowing social mixing in your own home from Monday was anticipated but not with the removal of social distancing rules.

As the first minister put it: “You can hug your loved ones again” - echoing a similar announcement by the prime minister, relating to England.

Scotland is also aligning with the UK government’s plans to open up international travel but taking more time to consider easing the requirements for face coverings in school.

Ending social distancing at home creates an anomaly because the rules will remain in force in other settings, including pubs and restaurants.

The Scottish government said it did not want to remove distancing rules everywhere at once, to reduce the risk of Covid flare-ups. A wider review of this policy is to report back in three weeks.
