From 26 December, limits on public events in Scotland will be put in place - 200 for indoor, and 500 for outdoor, with social distancing in place.
Indoor hospitality will be moved to table service only, with social distancing implemented. No more than three households will be allowed to gather. However, from 27 December,"please go back to limiting contacts as much as you possibly can," the first minister says.14:25:35The first minister confirms she will be announcing new restrictions for across the Christmas period.
The top ten highest rates in the UK belong to London - four of which have case rates higher than 2,000 cases per 100,000 people. He said:"People look at us and think 'they have got Steve Lansdown, a billionaire' but what people tend to forget is we don't have what Steve is worth. "We have a fantastic product. Professional rugby is a great game, but the reality is there are a lot of wealthy people who are losing money."I am pretty sure PRL will be talking to the government. The decision by the Premier League to keep going was an important one for rugby as well.
"My personal view is that I think we can wait at the moment until there are more restrictions formally placed, but each of us can do a lot of things today that would make the chances of further restrictions lighter. But the former government adviser warned of a potential impact on essential workers, including nurses, doctors and teachers, if transmission was not curbed.
"Amid the current uncertainty about severity, about transmission and about the broader impact on society, I think it is reasonable to pause for 24 hours, maybe 36 hours, until we see that other data... At that stage, the government will have to act and would have to act in a more draconian way".More on the chancellor's financial support package now - and not everyone is on board.
"Every pound of help is much needed. But this package is far too little and borders on the insulting."Officials in Germany have approved giving booster jabs three months after a second dose - halving the previous advice.
Sturgeon is simply ensuring as miserable as possible a Christmas & New Year for Scots. Their numbers won’t be any different from Cumberland & Northumberland where they will be having a bearable Christmas without trying to kill off pubs & sports.
It’s a mild flu less deadly than the common cold. Absolute idiot of a woman
NicolaSturgeon Beyond belief ! Double vaccinated + booster and you shut down football fans and social parties. Not the same number of hospitalisations as previous strains . Will never vote snp again if it means every strain that appears end up like this😡 we have to live with it
After being jabbed 3 times, wore a mask for nearly 2 years, socially distanced and self isolated and gladly took part in a couple of lockdowns. How does it feel to know that none of it worked and you are still suffering from political decisions?
So on the back of party central at Downing Street the Scottish Government thinks football fans are going to adhere to 3 household rule and wont meet up in houses across the land? Naive in the extreme. Safer having them outdoors at a game.
NicolaSturgeon Is this not good news since omricon is widely regarded as not as serious and nothing more than a bad flu, compared to the previous variants where deaths and icu numbers were tragically high🤷♂️
NicolaSturgeon Yet they still want schools open where large gatherings are taking place and it's spreading like wild fire.
No rationale to have 500 in a 60k stadium and I can watch my local team with 500 crammed in to a 600 capacity ground. 3 vaccines, masks, complied with everything, for what?
NicolaSturgeon 2 vaccines and a booster.I thought that stopped you getting seriously ill and going in to hospital Nicola? Can you explain this to us
NicolaSturgeon This is going to seriously deter people from further vaccinations, the UK people were told vaccination would bring back their freedoms? We are being lied to. Stadiums are open air , masks and fully vaccinated would be enough ! Disgraceful decision.
NicolaSturgeon In summary - Wash your hands, get your vaccine, wear a mask, get another vaccine, get a vaccine passport, get another vaccine, take a test every time you go out. Sorry, you've not done enough, get back in the house.
