It continues to say that “due to the continued decline in Covid case rates and the progressing easing of protective measures, businesses can implement a return that offers staff more flexibility while ensuring steps are taken to mitigate the potential spread of Covid.

“Eligible businesses in the hospitality, leisure, culture and tourism sectors that were impacted by the necessary public health measures introduced to stop the spread of Omicron are now receiving grant payments. The Scottish Government is working at pace with local authorities and other delivery partners to ensure business support funding is paid to all eligible businesses as quickly as possible.”
