Nicola Sturgeon announces new coronavirus levels for Scottish council areas

Nicola Sturgeon has announced the latest major change to Scotland's coronavirus levels this afternoon.

The First Minister told the Scottish Parliament that while some local authorities could move to Level 1 on Saturday, others will remain at Level 2.

Glasgow will finally be moved from Level 3 restrictions at the weekend.

But Edinburgh and Midlothian, Dundee, East Dunbartonshire, Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire, East Ayrshire, North Ayrshire and South Ayrshire, North and South Lanarkshire, Clackmannanshire and Stirling will all remain under Level 2 restrictions.

The First Minister said that the country was at a "delicate and fragile" point in the pandemic with cases of the new Indian variant now accounting for more than half of cases.

And moving to Level 1 is: Highland, Argyle and Bute, Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire, Moray, Angus, Perth and Kinross, Falkirk, Fife, Inverclyde, East and West Lothian, East Dunbartonshire, Dumfries and Galloway and the Borders.
