Coronavirus (COVID-19): local protection levels
Protection levels by area
COVID protection levels by area
From Monday 2 November each area of Scotland will be assigned to a COVID protection level. There are 5 protection levels, sometimes called 'tiers'.
Find out what you can and cannot do based on the local area that you live, work or travel in.
We will shortly have a postcode checker here to help you confirm your local area. You can also check your local council on GOV.UK.
