Scottish Prime Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced earlier on Monday that Scotland would once again enter containment "similar to that of March" 2020, to control the surge in contamination attributed to the variant of the new coronavirus.
With more than 75,000 dead, the United Kingdom is one of the countries in Europe most bereaved by Covid-19 and the trend has worsened in recent weeks. The number of daily positive cases has exceeded the threshold of 50,000 for several days, 54,990 people have been affected according to the latest official report on Sunday. Hospitals are already inundated with Covid-19 patients, more numerous than at the worst of the first wave in the spring.
