COVID-19

As a result of the removal of Covid regulations, the scottishathletics and jogscotland Covid Guidance has been withdrawn. To assist our clubs and groups to operate safely, we are continuing to make the guidance document available below as an archived document. While much of the content remains good practice, this document is no longer being updated, and is not intended to reflect or provide advice on current legal restrictions.

For general advice on helping to prevent the spread of Covid, we recommend following Scottish Government rules and guidance on how to stay safe. Covid is still a public health risk, and you can catch it even if you’ve been vaccinated or had it before.

By continuing to care for ourselves and others, we can help slow down the spread of the virus, enable clubs and groups to operate safely, and reduce pressure on health services.

Thanks our clubs and members for their patience, support, and effort over the past two years. Without their relentless hard work, our sport wouldn’t have resumed as quickly as it did.
