Scotland has now moved to the lowest level of covid restrictions
What this means for Churches
-
- We can move to one metre of physical distancing instead of two metres. That means most churches will be able to increase their capacity.
- Congregational singing is allowed, albeit behind face coverings (singing is already allowed in Level 1 areas).
- The maximum attendance at weddings and funerals will rise to 200.
