Hibs and Hearts players won't shake hands at tonight's Edinburgh derby over coronavirus fears.
The SFA and SPFL Coronavirus Response Group, which was formed on Monday, has written to clubs to inform players and match officials not to shake hands before or after matches.
The measure is being introduced for tonight's Easter Road derby, and will remain in place until further notice.
BBC Scotland's Kheredine Idessane tweeted: "The SFA and SPFL have written to clubs telling players and match officials NOT to shake hands pre or post match at Scottish games. Starting tonight with Hibs v Hearts, and all the other big games in the lower leagues."
Edinburgh Live reported on Monday how Scottish football's top bosses convened to discuss the "serious and concerning" coronavirus situation.
The response group will consider implications for league and domestic matches, along with national teams across the age groups.
SFA Chief Executive Ian Maxwell said: "The safety of everyone involved in attending or participating in a major football event is our foremost consideration and given the developing situation locally and internationally, it is incumbent on the football authorities to speak with one voice in providing guidance and reassurance to stakeholders.
"This applies to matches hosted here in Scotland but also for teams participating in competitions outwith the country."
SPFL Chief Executive Neil Doncaster added: "We are in regular dialogue with our counterparts in England and leagues in Europe to share news and best practice on what is clearly a serious and concerning situation.
“At the moment, there have been no indications that match schedules will be affected, but we are monitoring events closely and liaising with the Scottish Government to ensure we are as well prepared as possible."
Nicola Sturgeon earlier this week said that "further" cases were expected.
