As part of the measures, the Government has advised that nobody from outside the city should travel to Aberdeen for now, and residents within the city should restrict their movements to within 5 miles.
People in Aberdeen City are asked not to meet other households indoors or travel more than five miles for leisure or recreational purposes. People can continue to travel for work, or education purposes. Visiting in hospitals and care homes will return to essential visits only.
The full announcement is at https://www.gov.scot/news/local-restrictions-introduced-in-aberdeen/, and measures will be reviewed in seven days.
Aberdeen and North-East Scotland Family History Society was due to re-open its premises on King Street at the start of this week (https://scottishgenes.blogspot.com/2020/07/aberdeens-king-street-family-history.html).If you were planning to visit, you might be advised to contact the society - details are at www.anesfhs.org.uk.
