Nicola Sturgeon 'not anticipating' Glasgow's local lockdown restrictions will be lifted after review today

Nicola Sturgeon has said she is "not anticipating" the coronavirus curbs affecting Glasgow and other areas will be lifted following a review today.

The First Minister said: "We'll assess the latest data later on today ahead of the one week review that we committed to when we put the restrictions in place."

She added: "I wouldn't anticipate that we will be lifting these restrictions as a result of the review at this point."

It was recently announced that around 800,000 people living in the Glasgow, West Dunbartonshire and East Renfrewshire areas were told not to visit other people’s homes.

The new measures also meant that indoor visits to hospitals and care homes will now be limited to “essential visits”.

Sturgeon, the MSP for Glasgow Southside, previously said she understood that people in the area are “frustrated”, but urged them to see the move as a “wake-up call”.

She also previously said the restrictions had “not been put in place lightly”, adding they were “necessary and, we believe, proportionate”.
