Coronavirus in Scotland: No relaxation of Scotland's coronavirus rules expected for Hogmanay
A planned easing of coronavirus restrictions in Scotland over Christmas will be “slight and careful”, but no such move is likely over Hogmanay.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who will deliver a statement updating the restrictions on Tuesday, said decisions to ease rules over the festive period were a “particularly difficult balance to strike” and had split public opinion.
It came as the Prime Minister Boris Johnson said leaders of the four nations were devising plans for a “special time-limited Christmas dispensation” to allow families “to come together, while minimising the risk”.
