Coronavirus (COVID-19): protection levels - reviews and evidence
Reviews of the allocation of levels to local authorities and data supporting these decisions.
Introduction
Scotland follows a COVID-19 levels system (0-4). Each has a different set of rules on what you can and cannot do. Find out the level and rules for an area.
On 29 October 2020, as part of Coronavirus (COVID-19): Scotland’s Strategic Framework, we published the initial allocation of protection levels to local authorities.
See the collection of weekly reports on modelling of the epidemic for information on the spread of the disease through the population (epidemiological modelling) and of the demands it will place on the system, for example in terms of health care requirement.
See the collection of weekly reports on the state of the epidemic for information on the different sources of evidence and data about the covid epidemic to summarise the current situation, why we are at that place, and what is likely to happen next..

Review of the Levels' contents
As well as a weekly review of the allocation of levels, we will also periodically review the content of the levels. Such changes are based on the appropriate evidence, including virus transmission risks and an assessment against the four harms. Guidance is updated to reflect changes to the levels’ contents.
