What do you think of the new Covid measures?  0808 5 92 95 00

People in Scotland have been asked to limit socialising to three households at a time in the run-up to Christmas amid concerns over the Omicron variant.  First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the advice would not apply on Christmas Day and that plans should not be cancelled.
But she said people should reduce their social contacts with other households "as far as possible" and that, although it is guidance, she urged people not to think of it as optional.
