Covid in Scotland: Nationwide visiting ban & pub curfew - BBC News
An earlier last orders in pubs and restaurants will be brought in and the visiting ban in the west of Scotland will be extended to all parts of the country.
In much of the west of Scotland, people have not been allowed to meet in each others homes for some weeks.

That measure has now been extended to the whole of Scotland.

This is stricter than the rules in England but First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said it was the right stance to take to suppress the spread of the virus.

The regulations come into force on Friday but Ms Sturgeon urged everyone to comply from tomorrow.

The rules will be reviewed after three weeks.

The restrictions are different in public indoor spaces such as pubs, cafes and restaurants. Here it is the rule of six: two households with a maximum of six people.

Outdoors, the rule is also up to six people from two households. Children under 12 are exempt from these limits.

There is no limit on children under 12 playing outdoors.

Young people aged 12 to 18 are also exempt from the two household limit and can meet outdoors in groups of up to six.

From Friday, bars and restaurants will have to close at 10pm. That is the same as the new rule in England.
