Question
To ask the Scottish Government what scientific evidence is being used to determine the capacities permitted at football stadiums.
Answer
It is a matter for local authorities to consider/assess individual applications on spectator proposals having considered particular circumstances of the current regulations and latest guidance.
This requires Event organisers to apply in line with the requirements of the Health Protection (Coronavirus) (Restrictions and Requirements) (Local Levels) (Scotland) Regulations 2021 as amended and provide the Local Authority with an application in writing (can be email) along with the minimum of:
- A description of the type of event (or events) proposed,
- An event plan for the event (or events) proposed, and
- A risk assessment for the event (or events) proposed, including what measures are proposed relating to the prevention or minimisation of the risk of the incidence and spread of coronavirus arising from the event (or events).
