In order to control the spread of the epidemic in the increasingly severe environment of the British epidemic, Scotland’s Chief Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced on the 4th that the highest level of strict control measures will be implemented throughout Scotland from 00:00 on the 5th.
People are required to stay at home except for necessary exercise and basic activities.
The measure is tentatively implemented until the end of this month.
Sturgeon said, “It is no exaggeration to say that my concern about the current severity of the epidemic has exceeded that of March last year (2020) (the period when the United Kingdom announced strict control throughout the country)”; the infectivity of the newly discovered novel coronavirus virus in the United Kingdom has led to the level 4 control measures currently in place in Scotland.
The application is no longer enough to keep the transmission coefficient of the virus R below 1, “the sudden surge in the number of infections puts great pressure on the health care system”, and if stricter measures are not taken now, the number of patients will exceed the hospital’s admission capacity in three to four weeks.
