Aberdeen have been given the green light for Saturday's St Johnstone match, despite new lockdown restrictions in the Granite City.
A spike in coronavirus cases in the north east of Scotland means First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has reintroduced strict social distancing measures.
Bars and restaurants were ordered to close from 5pm on Wednesday, with Aberdonians urged not to travel more than five miles unless for work reasons.
That raised fears that the Scottish Premiership season could be interrupted in just the second week of fixtures, but it appears Aberdeen will be allowed to play.
Scottish football's Joint Response Group has no immediate concerns over the situation, with Hampden bosses currently happy for the Dons' trip to Perth to go ahead.
Premiership clubs have been given an exemption which has allowed them to resume training and playing matches.
Under the terms of that exemption, players and team staff members are operating in a bubble and must undergo twice weekly testing to ensure any fresh outbreaks are swiftly caught and traced.
The latest round of results, released by the JRG on Tuesday, saw 1274 tests carried out across the 12 Premiership clubs plus Hearts and Glasgow City - with no positive results recorded.
Derek McInnes' team will be given the green light to make the 148-mile round trip between Pittodrie and McDiarmid Park.
McInnes is hoping to see his team get back on track against Saints after kicking off the new campaign with a 1-0 defeat to Rangers at home on Saturday.
Aberdeen are also in action on Wednesday when they host Hamilton and, as things stand, that game is also unaffected.
While the Reds will carry on with their preparations, their women's youth academy has announced it is postponing training sessions.
They tweeted: "Given today's announcement by the First Minister relating to Aberdeen & some enforced lockdown restrictions, we feel as a club it would be best to postpone ALL training for the remainder of this week and next. We will keep you updated accordingly."
