Scotland sets to ease coronavirus lockdown from May 28

Scottish government Thursday revealed a four-phase "roadmap" to ease lockdown measures in the region with some new rules to start from May 28. 

Those relaxations include permission for people to conduct non-contact sports like tennis, golf. Garden centers and some other outdoor business will be resumed. 

And people will be able to meet one person from another household if they stay two meters apart outdoors.

But all Scotland's schools will reopen from August 11, said Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon. She also added new rules are "not set in stone" and they will be reviewed every three weeks.

A total of 14,856 people in Scotland have tested positive for the coronavirus, and 2,221 patients have died in the region.
