Nicola Sturgeon coronavirus update LIVE as First Minister confirms national lockdown won't be imposed tomorrow - Scottish Daily Record

Nicola Sturgeon has reassured Scots they do not face the prospect of another national lockdown like the one imposed in March.

The First Minister said today that no final decision had been made on what kind of restrictions may have to be imposed across the country.

But she stressed Scots would not be expected to remain in their houses, schools would still be open, and the economy would not been shut down.

She will brief her Cabinet on Wednesday before making a statement to the Scottish Parliament.

Speaking at her media briefing, she said: “We are not proposing another lockdown at this stage, not even on a temporary basis.

“We are not going to ask you to stay inside your own homes in the way we did back in March. And while we have been asking people to think carefully about  non-essential travel, particularly overseas… we are not about to impose travel restrictions on the whole of the country."
