The change, which only applies to people who have no fever and record two negative lateral flow tests, comes into force from 6 January.

Restrictions, such as the limit on large scale events and closure of nightclubs, remain in place until 17 January.

The steps have been taken amid an increase in Covid cases with an estimated one in twenty people in Scotland now infected with the virus.

People who test positive for Covid in Scotland will be allowed to exit self-isolation after seven days if they have no fever and record two negative lateral flow tests.
