Lockdown must remain in place for now - FM


"We want to see data in the days ahead that confirms a very clear downward trend," says the first minister.

She wants to see what the R Number looks in a week from now and if the NRS figures next week show another fall in the number of deaths.

"We have concluded that the lockdown and the associated regulations must remain in place for now."

She points out the Scottish government can make changes before the next legal review in three weeks time.

The first minister points out: "I am as anxious as anyone to restore some degree of normality to our lives as soon as possible and to reduce the harm we know the lockdown is doing."

I believe the more than half of all adults/27 million figure includes those who are furloughed, claiming benefits, public sector workers or pensioners.

If it includes people on benefits and pensioners then yes that could possibly be correct. But we were paying them anyway, so it's highly misleading to include them.

Yes, not what anyone needs right now. Was that text from your GP? It makes me wonder if they're moving the goalposts with regard to those requiring shielding.
