Nicola Sturgeon delivered an address to the nation with an impassioned plea for Scots to stick together and follow new restrictions aimed at beating the spread of coronavirus.
The First Minister kicked off her broadcast this evening by thanking the public for months of effort in turning the tide against the deadly bug.
But although she said Scots' efforts have hammered down infections, Sturgeon warned “the challenge is once again getting harder.” She said: "I know that all of this has been incredibly tough – and six months on it only gets tougher.
But never forget that humanity has come through even bigger challenges than this one."And though it doesn’t feel like it now, this virus will pass.
