Phone in: Self Isolation - Is it working for you? Also on the show: Tech talk, reducetarianism and dog thefts.

PHONE-IN
Critical staff working in the health, food and transport sectors can apply to be exempt from self-isolation, under a new Scottish government scheme. People who work in the emergency services, government and finance could also qualify for an exemption. But they must be double vaccinated, have a negative PCR test and agree to take daily lateral flow tests. The changes to the guidance have been criticised by a number of unions who've warned it's a dangerous move. But there's also been criticism from some industries angered that they've not been included.
