New guidance issued for holiday accommodation providers in Highlands
From Boxing Day the Highland Council area will be placed in a Level 4 Protection Area and the authority has issued advice for holiday accommodation owners during the coronavirus pandemic.
All holiday accommodation is required to be closed to tourists – however hotels, bed and breakfasts and self-catering can remain open for essential customers only.
When providing accommodation to essential customers, this should only be open for when they require accommodation as part of that role.
Covid-19 guidance is available that helps clarify who qualifies as an essential customer here.
A council spokesman said: "Should you require any further information or advice on the latest guidance please contact our Environmental Health team on envhealth@highland.gov.uk"
