EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Health Protection (Coronavirus) (Requirements) (Scotland) Regulations 2021 (“the principal Regulations”).
Regulation 2(2) amends the definition of “relevant leisure premises” in regulation 4A(3) of the principal Regulations to remove the legal requirement for one metre physical distancing in outdoor event venues, outdoor exhibitions and outdoor spaces in sports stadiums.
Regulation 2(3) amends regulation 7(E) of the principal Regulations.
Regulation 2(3)(a) makes changes to defined terms used in relation to certification requirements in regulation 7E(1) of the principal Regulations, by: amending the definition of authorised vaccine to ensure an authorised vaccine is one which is authorised by the relevant authorities in the United Kingdom; changing the definition of fully vaccinated to encompass both a first course of an authorised vaccine, and a booster course, if the final dose of the authorised vaccine was more than 120 days before an individual’s vaccination status is checked as part of certification requirements; and inserting definitions of licensing authority and marketing authorisation in connection with the definition of authorised vaccine.
Regulation 2(3)(b) amends regulation 7E(2) of the principal Regulations to define a first course of doses (being an initial course of doses of vaccine against coronavirus) and second course of doses (constituting the booster vaccine) for the purposes of the change to the definition of ‘fully vaccinated’.
Regulation 2(4) amends regulation 7F of the principal Regulations which places capacity limits on live events. The amendment removes the requirement that a person must not organise an outdoor live event at which more than 500 people will be in attendance.
