EACH of Scotland's 32 council areas has been given a level it is currently on in terms of the new five tier framework of restrictions.
The list, which has just been published by the Scottish Government, puts every local authority on a 0 to 4 level.
The Covid restriction level for every council area in Scotland has now been confirmed. READ MORE: Scotland lockdown: Level of Covid restriction for every council area revealed
Level 4 is the highest level of restriction and is close to the curbs in place during the Spring lockdown, while 0 is the lowest level and close to normal life.
Note: An earlier version of this article used the Cases /100k forecast column of the table published by the Scottish Government. However, the actual level a council could be put on may take account of other issues such as local hospital addmissions. This has now been changed and the figures below represent the area's current Covid level.

The "Indicators paper" which reveals the current levels and suggest possible forecasts also says no decisions have yet been made on future levels.
It adds: "Decisions will be made by Scottish Ministers, in exercise of their statutory powers in relation to public health, and implemented through regulations. It is important to note that the level appropriate for a given area at a given time may not be the same asthe signal given by the indicators.
"Wider considerations apply, including the prevalence of infection elsewhere, including in neighbouring areas, trends in the data and the effectiveness of public health measures."

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
