National clinical director Jason Leitch is hopeful some football fans will be able to go to Hampden by the Euros.
Matches between Scotland with the Czech Republic and Croatia are set to take place in June next year and the health boss is "relatively confident" fans will be able to be in stadiums.
However, he warned the Covid vaccine will have to be distributed globally before the world returns "back to normal".

He told BBC's Off the Ball: "The Euros give a number of levels of challenge, because it isn't all in Scotland.
"The present plan is to play it in 12 countries and 12 different stadia.
"Players and fans are going to have to travel between the different countries, so there are layers of complexity there.
"There are too many variables to know if we will have a full house at Hampden, but I am relatively confident we will have some kind of crowd by June.”
His announcement was followed by the daily coronavirus figures which shower there were 36 new coronavirus deaths.
Another 1118 tests came back positive in Scotland yesterday.
