(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations (which come into force on 3 September 2021) amend the Health Protection (Coronavirus) (Requirements) (Scotland) Regulations 2021 (“the principal Regulations”).
Regulation 2 amends regulation 5 (Requirement to wear face covering in certain indoor places) of the principal Regulations. Regulation 2(2) inserts “rehearsing for a performance” as an activity falling within the exemption in paragraph (1)(j).
Regulation 2(3) inserts a new paragraph (1)(ja) into regulation 5. This creates an exemption from wearing a face covering indoors for those performing or rehearsing for a performance where the use of measures set out in paragraph (1)(j) would materially impede the performance or rehearsal and the wearing of a face covering would materially impede the performance or rehearsal. The exemption will apply as long as there is either a partition or a distance of at least one metre between the performer(s) and all other persons (except those who are performing or rehearsing with the performer(s) or assisting with the performance or rehearsal).
