Coronavirus in Scotland: Your questions answered on lockdown easing
May 29, 2020
With Scotland introducing the first phase of its lockdown easing strategy on Friday, more than 1,300 of you have sent in questions about how the new rules will work.
Here are the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions.
Does meeting one other household mean the same household every time - or one household every individual meeting? Chris Waugh, Musselburgh

In phase one, the guidance says you are allowed to meet members of one other household at a time - so you can meet different people on different days.
While this will not be the law, the Scottish government strongly recommends you don't meet with more than one other household per day.
You should keep meetings to a maximum of eight people, and members of different households should stay two metres apart at all times - so no hugs.
It needs to be outdoors and people should not go into someone else's house - although you are allowed to meet in private gardens as well as public spaces like parks.
You should avoid touching the same surfaces - these could act as a "bridge" for the virus to transmit between households. For example, if you are having a picnic each household should bring its own food and crockery.
Can someone from another household enter your house solely to get into the back garden if you have no other access otherwise? Avril Matthews, Edinburgh
