Covid tier update

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon

On Tuesday, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon confirmed Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire will stay in tier 2 of the new lockdown system introduced earlier this month.

The announcement came amid a rise in coronavirus cases and fears the north-east regions would be placed into tier 3.

The Highlands, islands and Moray remain in level 1 and added an increase in numbers allowed to gather for outdoor socialising.

Eight people from three households are now allowed to meet.
