'I will not be pressured into lifting restrictions prematurely.' Scotland's First Minister NicolaSturgeon says the PM is welcome to work at a 'faster pace for England' but she will make judgements that is 'right and safe for Scotland.' More COVID19 👉
The coronavirus lockdown"must be extended" in Scotland and easing any restrictions would be"very, very risky", Nicola Sturgeon has announced.
The first minister said she would prefer all four of the UK's nations to keep the same rules and only change them in tandem - after Boris Johnson said he wants to"get going" on plans to slightly ease restrictions in England. But she did say she is considering allowing people in Scotland to exercise outdoors more than once a day.
Ahead of an expected address by the prime minister to the nation on Sunday, Ms Sturgeon said she would"not be pressured into lifting restrictions prematurely before I am as certain as I can be that we will not be risking a resurgence" of infections.
