From tomorrow our advice is that all household contacts of any confirmed Covid case should self-isolate for 10 days, regardless of vaccination status or negative PCR.
Non-household contacts isolate, but can leave isolation if PCR is negative and you're double vaccinated.
This lad is Stephen Montgomery, voluntary and unpaid spokesman of the self-styled "Scottish Hospitality Group" (SHG), formed as a small WhatsApp group a year ago. Their members employ about 6,000 people out of a total 90,000. All over BBC Scotland today.
📣 The COP Conference of Youth, starting on Thursday, will gather over 400 young people from over 120 countries to draw up their demands of world leaders.
While the UK government refused to fund this vital platform for young people, @scotgov has stepped up to fund it itself.
@SteveHofstetter I would find it irritating because it would interrupt my settling in. Also - I'd find it impersonal and unnecessary. When you book a hotel room the implicit understanding is that once booked in you are left in peace.
Incredible results. Vaccination reduces the risk of dying or being hospitalised with Covid by 90%. It still feels miraculous that we have such safe & effective vaccines so soon 💙🔬🩺https://t.co/goKoMitvah
These comments are appalling. It’s not up to women to fix this. It’s not us who need to change. The problem is male violence, not women’s ‘failure’ to find ever more inventive ways to protect ourselves against it. For change to happen, this needs to be accepted by everyone.
@stewartbremner @believeinscot @indy_prints Seeing your artwork on the old police box on Leith Walk kept me going after the results came in. Hope over fear n all that :) And - it's coming fer aw that !

Well done for finally employing a female to this position in 2021 ! Horrendously overdue but at least it has happened. Oh, for it to be times in which females being selected for top positions was no longer news worthy. I'll bet it will be late this century before we're there.
Amanda Pritchard has today been appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer of NHS England.
Amanda will be the first woman in the health service’s history to hold the post, which she will take up on Sunday 1 August.
The royals do *not* need a royal yacht. Many children in the UK live below the poverty line and do not have enough food to eat - and the royals already have enough wealth to make Solomon blush.
'The spectacle of Baroness Davidson of Lundin Links wafting to her red bench in full stoat coat, swearing to be “faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty the Queen” is the stuff of which revolutions are made.'
Stirring stuff from yon @PeatWorrier

“It compares favourably with previous estimates for UK (7.8%) and recent figures from Europe (3%).”
Pity @BBCScotlandNews couldn’t muster headline to commend NHSScot staff on reducing to 1%!
