As it's confirmed that almost all of slotxo Scotland's remaining Covid-19 restrictions are to end from 9 August, BBC Scotland
has been asking you what you want to know about the changes to the restrictions.
Here's what we know about some of the most asked questions we've received so far.
When will face coverings not be compulsory here in Scotland? Question from Kenny in South Ayrshire
For now, face coverings will still be legally required in Scotland.
Despite the lifting of restrictions next Monday, face coverings must be worn in all the same indoor settings as is the case now.
Nicola Sturgeon has said this will be kept under review, but added: "My expectation is that face coverings are likely to be
mandated in law for some time to come".
So there's no date yet for when you will not be legally required to wear a face covering in some settings.
In England, the legal requirement to wear a face covering has ended. But the UK government still says it
"expects and recommends" the continued wearing of masks in crowded areas such as public transport.
Is there still a need for registering for contact tracing at restaurants and bars? Question from Daniel in Greenock
Yes, you will still have to provide your contact details.
The first minister confirmed in her statement to the Scottish Parliament on Tuesday that Scotland's contact tracing service -
Test & Protect - would continue to contact-trace positive cases of Covid.
She said there would be an "ongoing requirement for indoor hospitality and similar venues to collect the contact details
of customers" to assist with this.
