NICOLA STURGEON confirmed today that Scotland will not be placed under any further Covid restrictions despite recording its highest ever daily case numbers.
The First Minister told a virtual session of the Scottish Parliament yesterday that almost 16,000 people had tested positive for coronavirus in one day — the highest total since the start of the pandemic — but that Holyrood will join Westminster in not tightening restrictions.
Ms Sturgeon said that isolation periods — particularly for key workers — are being reviewed and a decision on this is set to be announced in the coming week.
