Made - - - - at 7.15 p.m. on 26th March 2020
Laid before the Scottish Parliament 27th March 2020
Coming into force in accordance with regulation 1(1)
The Scottish Ministers make the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by
paragraph 1(1) of schedule 19 of the Coronavirus Act 2020(a) (“the Act”) and all other powers
enabling them to do so.
These Regulations are made in response to the serious and imminent threat to public health which
is posed by the incidence and spread of coronavirus in Scotland.
The Scottish Ministers consider that the restrictions and requirements imposed by these
Regulations are proportionate to what they seek to achieve, which is a public health response to
that threat.
In accordance with paragraph 6(2) and (3) of schedule 19 of the Act, the Scottish Ministers are of
the opinion that, by reason of urgency, it is necessary to make these Regulations without a draft
having been laid before, and approved by, a resolution of the Scottish Parliament.
