Following confirmation from the First Minister that Scotland’s legal COVID-19 restrictions will end on March 21, the Joint Response Group (“JRG”) has updated the Scottish football protocols.
From next Monday, 28 February, clubs will be required to carry out Lateral Flow Tests on a matchday for all playing and team staff. On non-matchdays, clubs will only be required to test symptomatic players and staff, but they may, of course, supplement this minimum requirement with an additional testing programme should they wish.
The JRG will review the data from the matchday testing regime over the coming weeks, with a view to moving to symptomatic testing only.
With the Scottish Government also ending the passport scheme on 28 February, clubs will also no longer be required to spot check supporters for vaccination status from that date. We would continue to recommend that supporters take a LFT before leaving home on matchdays.
