Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has announced that travel between Scotland and three districts in England hit with the so called Indian virus will be restricted from Monday.
At her daily Coronavirus meeting she said:
“We know that there are particularly serious outbreaks in in three specific English local authority areas – Bedford, Bolton and Blackford & Darwen.”
“So for that reason for Monday onwards, we are putting hopefully temporary travel restrictions on travel between Scotland and those three local authority areas and England.
“So if you were planning to visit friends or relatives or to stay in those areas you must delay your visit.”
She added “We are not placing legal restrictions on travel to Lancashire or Greater Manchester more widely, or to areas around Bedfordshire, but if you’re planning to visit these in the next few days, please consider whether you need to make your visit, or whether it can be delayed.”
