Nicola Sturgeon has unveiled a five-level system for restricting people’s movements and limiting physical contact as part of new measures to combat the spread of Covid-19.
The system includes a top level that is tougher than the highest of England’s three tiers. Sturgeon said the highest level would be closer to the lockdown imposed across the UK in late March.
