Covid in Scotland: New stay at home lockdown announced

People in mainland Scotland are to be ordered to stay at home amid a fresh Covid-19 lockdown.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said new curbs would be introduced at midnight in a bid to contain the new, faster-spreading strain of the virus.

New laws will require people in level four areas to stay at home and work from home where possible.

Outdoor gatherings are also to be cut back, with people only allowed to meet one person from one other household.
