Live Borders facilities which are currently supporting COVID-19 vaccination and testing programmes Services will not be able to reopen to pre-COVID opening times or capacities in order to comply with coronavirus restrictions. Simon Mountford, depute leader of SBC I am delighted that we can announce this positive news today. A significant amount of effort and planning has gone into developing this joint reopening schedule. While there are clearly grounds for optimism as the COVID situation continues to improve, we must remain cautious about what may lie ahead; ultimately, we will not reopen services until we are absolutely confident that they will be safe for customers and staff.
