First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has urged the people of Scotland to continue to follow the latest guidelines on coronavirus, amidst the UK Government's 2020 Christmas party blunder.
In a tweet last night, the First Minister said: "Re UK gov announcement of Covid Plan B today, all these protections are already in place in Scotland and have helped us get Delta cases down.
"Tough question we all face in period ahead is whether these protections will be strong enough against a rapidly spreading Omicron variant...
"Even if (and it is still if) Omicron doesn’t cause more severe disease, the numbers of people who might be infected by its faster spread will create big challenges for NHS and economy - so we need to consider carefully (but quite quickly) what proportionate response needed.
"In meantime, all of us complying strictly with current protections will help. And even if you feel angry with a politician just now, please remember just how important compliance is for the health & safety of you, your loved ones and the country."
