The Scottish First Minister asked the public to comply with new restrictions to prevent the further spread of COVID-19, coronavirus, tonight, 23rd of March.
These include:
Going out only to shop for basic items – food and medicines
Going out to take one form of exercise a day
Going out only for medical needs and care needs – or to help a vulnerable person
Going out to travel to and from work – but only if it is a necessity
Shops which do not provide basic essentials such as food and medicines should close.
If you have coronavirus symptoms and need additional advice, dial NHS24 on 111 – in and out of hours – not phone your GP.
It is hoped that the public will comply with this voluntarily but Police Scotland will respond to enforce it if neccessary.
