Sturgeon: 'We remain in lockdown for now'

Synopsis

Nicola Sturgeon, the First Minister of Scotland, confirms that the lockdown rules remain unchanged for now. She emphasizes the importance of staying at home unless performing essential tasks like buying food or medicine. Sturgeon notes that the Scottish government does not deem it safe to open more businesses or allow more people to return to work at this time. She mentions that the Play Minister for England may announce immediate changes later that evening, but she does not expect significant differences between Scotland and England's positions. Sturgeon has just attended a COBRA meeting with the Prime Minister and the First Ministers of Wales and Northern Ireland, where she reiterates that the only change confirmed today is the one she announced. She urges the public to continue adhering to the lockdown rules to prevent a resurgence of the virus.
