Updated Guide to Restarting Services
Guide updated to reflect new Covid-19 protection levels.
After a rise in the numbers of positive Covid-19 cases, the Scottish Government announced new Covid-19 protection levels which came into effect on 2 November. These new measures can be applied nationally, or locally, depending on prevalence of the virus across Scotland.
As part of the Social Housing Resilience Group discussions, the Scottish Government has indicated that repair and maintenance work can continue subject to appropriate risk assessments, physical distancing and hygiene measures. Construction has also been deemed as essential work in all levels of the new Strategic Framework and Covid-19 protection levels.
