Most shops in Scotland will reopen from 29th June as the country eases lockdown restrictions. ‘The announcement was made today (18th June) by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and it means the country has now moved to the second phase of its four-phase process.
Nicola Sturgeon said today that shops in Scotland of all sizes would be allowed to reopen for business from June 29 as long as they have outdoor entrances and exits, which rules out the reopening of shopping centres. Sturgeon also said retailers should begin putting in place plans to ensure stores can be operated safely with two-metre social distancing measures in place to protect staff and customers.
