Scots must remain vigilant

Speaking at her daily briefing in Edinburgh, Nicola Sturgeon cautioned that people must remain vigilant to the threat posed by coronavirus.

The First Minister spoke about the “risks we still face” as more lockdown restrictions are eased.

Ms Sturgeon said: “My main worry right now is we start to believe the virus has gone away, and that it no longer poses a risk and as a result we all drop our guard and simply go back to life exactly as it was before we were dealing with this epidemic.

“And that would be a mistake and it would be a mistake that is very costly.”

She continued: “At every stage we need to remember that the virus has not gone away and it is very, very, unlikely to simply go away of its own accord.”
