Telegraph, 22 Sep 2020
Children under the age of six will still be exempt from Scotland's rule of six, although Scots will not be able to meet in other people's homes from Wednesday, Nicola Sturgeon has said.

Those living alone will be able to for extended households, couples not living together, those who need childcare and tradespeople will be exempt from the measures, the First Minister said.

The changes only impact meeting in people's homes, with regulations for outdoor and public indoor meetings remaining the same.

Children under 12 will be exempt from the limit of six people from two households when meeting outside and those between 12 and 18 will be able to meet a limit of six others from six households outdoors.
