Brief Overview of Tier Four Restrictions and EKSS’s Response

January 15th, 2021

The honest review of 2020 would be: everything but COVID19. The virus went virally vile against Scotland, and society events were no exception to the government restrictions. Last October, EKSS participated in Asian societies Halloween party along with Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong student societies. Due to the pandemic, the event had to be held online, where around 40 participants joined altogether in Zoom meeting for games and coffee chats. When reflecting on the current situation, this type of socials is one of the only forms for socials.

And yet it is officially 2021, while the virus still goes on against the humanity. From Boxing day last year, the Scottish government introduced tier four restrictions in Edinburgh and other regions.

EKSS supports NHS Scotland's policy to stop the spread of COVID19.

EKSS journal hereby offers some of their restrictions in an easy bullet-point summary:

Meeting indoors:

  • No home-to-home visits, since you can only meet another household indoors in a public place.
  • The maximum number of people who can meet indoors in public is six which can be from up to two separate households.
  • Not to mention, keep rooms well ventilated – consider opening windows or a door.

    • Meeting outdoors:

  • Young people aged between 12 and 17 can meet up in groups of up to six at a time outdoors and are not subject to the two-household limit.

    • Extended Households

    People who live in different places can form an “extended household” in the following circumstances:

  • If you are an adult and you live alone, or if all others in your household are under 18, you, any children who live with you, and the members of one other household (of any size) can agree to form an 'extended household'.
  • Two adults who are in a relationship and they do not live together they, and any children they each live with, can agree to form an 'extended household'.

    • Additional Tips for Households

  • Once two households have agreed to form an extended household they may meet outdoors or indoors, visit and stay at each other’s homes, and do everything that people in other households can do, such as watch TV, share a meal and look after each other’s children.
  • A gentle reminder that a household must not form an extended household with more than one other household. In addition, households can end the arrangement at any time, but should not then form an extended household with a new household for at least a 14-day period.
