• if you have symptoms – self isolate and book a PCR test
• you must wear a face covering (unless exempt) in most indoor public spaces and on public transport 
• open windows when meeting indoors
• wash your hands regularly, and cover your nose and mouth if coughing or sneezing
• work from home as well as the office if you can – businesses and workplaces should follow the safer workplace guidance

The PHS COVID-19 Daily Dashboard includes a range of data on COVID-19 cases, hospitalisations, deaths and vaccinations, as well as neighbourhood and demographic breakdowns. Data on the number of confirmed COVID-19 inpatients in hospital and ICU has now been added to the dashboard too.

In addition, PHS will continue to publish the weekly COVID-19 Statistical Report and will provide open data behind all of the latest COVID-19 daily data on the Open Data Platform.

From 11 April 2022, the Scottish Government will no longer provide updates on COVID-19 data.
