COVID-19

Our sport has guidelines, agreed with sportscotland and the Scottish Government, outlining what level of activity can take place during Covid restrictions. Jog Leaders should read the full documents posted below.

General Guidance

From Monday 26 April 2021:

• All of Scotland moves to Level 3.
• Adults can travel between Level 3 areas for organised sport – ie. everyone can travel outside their local authority area to go to their jogscotland group. This should only change in future if any areas are moved back into Level 4.

Still in place at this stage:

• Group size maximum of 15 including jog leaders
• Social distancing in place – 2m side by side and 5m single file.
