Football fans heading to Hampden for the Euros have been warned not to hug or high five.
New rules also urge supporters to avoid all close contact with others and remain in their seats at half-time.
Four Euro 2020 games will be played at national stadium – including Scotland’s group fixtures against Czech Republic and Croatia – which has been kitted out with hundreds of sanitiser stations and floor markings.
The Scottish Government gave the Scottish FA approval to have 12,000 fans at Hampden for each match – 25% of the stadium’s capacity.
They will be comfortably the biggest crowds seen in Scotland for a live event since the pandemic began.
SNS GroupScotland also face England at Wembley, where fans will need proof they’ve had two vaccinations or a negative lateral flow test to get in.
Meanwhile, a fan zone for up to 6000 people has been set up at Glasgow Green, where games will be shown on big screens.
