The Scottish Ministers make the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by section 94(1)(b)(i) and 122(2) of the Public Health etc. (Scotland) Act 2008 M1 (“the 2008 Act”), paragraph 1(1) of schedule 19 of the Coronavirus Act 2020 M2 (“the 2020 Act”) and all other powers enabling them to do so.
These Regulations are made in response to the serious and imminent threat to public health which is posed by the incidence and spread of coronavirus in Scotland.
The Scottish Ministers consider that the restrictions and requirements imposed by these Regulations are proportionate to what they seek to achieve, which is a public health response to that threat.
In accordance with section 122(6) of the 2008 Act and paragraph 6(2) and (3) of schedule 19 of the 2020 Act, the Scottish Ministers consider that these Regulations need to be made urgently, without a draft having been laid before, and approved by resolution of, the Scottish Parliament.
