Scotland is expected to remain under lockdown restrictions for a further three weeks. The UK and Scottish governments must review the legislation in place every three weeks as the country continues to battle Covid-19.
An announcement will be made by the UK Government on Thursday on the country’s strategy going forward. The Times reports that Brits will be told to remain in their homes until at least May 7.
Government officials have already signalled their intentions to extend the lockdown, despite evidence of the number of cases and deaths beginning to fall, reports the Mirror.
