Covid-19: Whitty warns against unlocking restrictions too early

Up to four adults from two different households can meet outside in Scotland starting Friday this week. Restrictions for young people are also eased as four people between the ages of 12 and 17 are able to meet, even if they all come from different households. Non-contact group sports for adults outdoors will also resume on Friday. And from March 26th, people can gather for common worship, provided that no more than 50 people are gathered and social distancing is observed. The general requirement to stay at home remains, however, and Nicola Sturgeon warns that hospital admissions and deaths from the virus are “still higher than we’d like”.
