Updated Paddlesport Guidance - 16th April

Apr 15, 2021

 

Updated Paddlesport Guidance, effective April 16th

 

Following the publication of new Return to sport and physical activity guidance by sportscotland, the SCA has updated its guidance to align with this change. 


Travel: From Friday, some travel restrictions will be relaxed to allow travel across Scotland for the purposes of meeting outdoors with friends and family. This will allow travel for informal physical activity, but not for organised sport. Travel restrictions for wider purposes - including organised sport, leisure, shopping, visiting hospitality premises or staying in tourist accommodation - will remain until 26 April, as originally planned, when all travel restrictions within Scotland will be lifted.

 


Outdoor gatherings: Up to 6 adults from 6 households can meet outside. The exemption for groups of up to 15 adults taking part in organised outdoor sport remains.


 

The accelerated easing of travel restrictions on Friday 16 April is aimed at improving the mental health of the nation by encouraging more people to see small groups of family and friends in an informal outdoor setting. Travel for organised sport and physical activity will still be able to resume as originally planned on Monday 26 April. Please note this is consistent with Scottish Government's phased approach to the easing of lockdown restrictions.

 


We will provide an update in relation to changes that come into effect on April 26 when we have final details.



We must all keep doing as much as we can to help suppress the spread of the virus. We encourage everyone to download and use the
