Covid rule changes in Scotland tomorrow will impact face masks and social distancing
27.01.2022 - 20:04 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Two changes will be made to Scotland’s Covid restrictions tomorrow as the country continues to battle its way through the Omicron wave of the virus.
Nicola Sturgeon addressed MSPs at Holyrood on the state of the pandemic in Scotland on Tuesday afternoon.
The First Minister said that the data from the last week "paints another broadly positive picture" following a significant drop in case numbers since the start of the month.
On Wednesday, the Scottish Government recorded 8,516 new cases of Covid over the last 24 hour period - which is much lower than the more than 20,000 recorded on January 3.
The number of people with Covid requiring treatment in hospitals and intensive care wards has also dropped in recent weeks.
But despite the positives, Sturgeon warned Scots of the ‘unpredictable’ threat that the virus continues to pose.
She said: “The welcome progress of the past week to so has been made possible by a combination of booster vaccination, the proportionate measures introduced in December, and of course the willingness of the public to adapt behaviour to stem transmission.
“All of that made a difference and has helped, I’m good to say, send Omicron into reverse.
