Quarantine restrictions have been imposed for travellers returning from two more countries.
The Scottish Government has added Slovenia and Guadeloupe to the list of countries where travellers must quarantine on their return due to the increase in coronavirus cases.
People arriving in Scotland from either destinations after 4am on Saturday (September 19) will be required to self-isolate at home, or another specified address, for 14 days.
The countries join popular holiday destinations including Australia, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy, Japan and Turkey.
The Scottish Government also announced that Singapore and Thailand will be added to the list of countries exempt from quarantine due to a trend in decrease in cases.
Travellers returning from both countries will therefore no longer be required to isolate when they return to Scotland.
Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf said: “Managing the risk of importing cases from communities with high risks of transmission is vital in our efforts to supress the spread of the virus in Scotland and imposing quarantine restrictions on those arriving in the UK is our first defence.
“We continue to closely monitor the situation in all parts of the world and base the decisions we make on the scientific evidence available. We are also in regular discussions with the other three governments in the UK. More details about what the quarantine requirements mean can be found on the Scottish Government website.
“Wherever somebody has travelled from – whether an exempt country or not – it remains a legal requirement to complete a Passenger Locator Form and provide it to Border Force officials.
"Failure to do so can also result in a fine since this, along with any failure to self-isolate where required, poses a significant risk to wider public health across Scotland.
“We are in the midst of a global pandemic and the situation in many countries can change suddenly. Therefore, people should think very hard before committing to non-essential travel abroad.”
