These Regulations revoke the Health Protection (Coronavirus) (Requirements) (Scotland) Regulations 2021 (“the Principal Regulations”).

These Regulations remove the requirement on persons to wear a face covering in certain indoor public places and on public transport (regulations 5, 6 and 7 of the Principal Regulations).

The enforcement provisions (regulations 15, 16 and 17 of the Principal Regulations), which provided for enforcement of the requirement, offences and penalties, and fixed penalty notices, are also revoked.
