Scotland has moved to Level 0 of its five-tier lockdown system today, which means most coronavirus rules will be scrapped.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the successful vaccination programme has "weakened the link between case numbers and serious health harms" so blanket rules and regulations are no longer necessary.
The Level 0 tier means the threat from Covid still exists but the virus is "very suppressed" - allowing restrictions to begin to ease.
With this tier comes a range of "sensible and cautious" mitigations for people to follow.
So what are the new Covid rules for Scotland? Here's what you need to know.
Face coverings
Scots will be expected to maintain protective measures and continue using face masks.
It will be still be mandatory to wear face coverings in shops and on public transport.
Ms Sturgeon justified the rules, saying it gives "protection and assurance to those amongst us who are particularly vulnerable and who previously had to shield".
Face masks will be mandatory for secondary school pupils and school staff.
The First Minister acknowledged wearing coverings is hard for students, so schools are also required to have access to C02 monitors to ensure classrooms are ventilated.
Self-isolation
People who come into close contact with someone testing positive for coronavirus will no longer need to self-isolate.
But they will need to prove they have been double jabbed and have had a PCR test which has come back negative.
The same restrictions apply to anyone aged between five and 17 years old even if they have not been vaccinated.
Entire classes will not have isolate if someone tests for positive Instead children and young people who are higher risk close contacts will be identified, allowing fewer young people to have to isolate.
Social distancing
Social distancing will be scrapped in most settings.
A maximum of eight people from three households can met indoors either in someone's house or within a hospitality venue.
As many as 15 people from five households can gather outside or outdoors in a pub, cafe or restaurant.
And up to 50 people can attend weddings, civil partnerships, funerals, wakes and receptions.
Working from home
The Scottish Government has encouraged employers to facilitate workers to work from home when possible.
This should be encouraged for the long term which "may have benefits beyond the need to control a virus", officials added.
Travel rules
Travel restrictions are reviewed in Scotland every four weeks.
A traffic light system is in place, which is similar to that set out by officials in Westminster.
Countries are classified as green, amber or red. Those returning from amber list countries will no longer have to isolate as long as they have been double jabbed and have a negative PCR test on their second day of arrival.
Hotel quarantine is required from holidaymakers returning from red list countries.
The Scottish Government said restrictions will be added "when necessary" to restrict the spread of outbreaks.
Pubs, cafes and restaurants
These venues no longer have to close by 22.30.
Contact tracing will still be in force so details of customers in pubs and restaurants will still be collected.
Up to 10 people can meet in a pub or restaurant without the need to book a two-hour slot in advance.
Enjoying events
Large scale events will be able to take place but organisers hosting outdoor events with more than 5,000 attendees will need to apply for permission.
Permission is also required for indoor events with more than 3,000 visitors expected.
Nightclubs will finally be able to reopen.
