Is Scotland going into lockdown?

Who thinks Nicola will announce a circuit break lockdown tomorrow?

No she has said theres not going to be a lockdown. Or travel restrictions.

I'm thinking it must be restricting pubs cafes etc as theres not much else to do now as we already are banned from meeting other households indoors. Maybe banning meeting households outdoors?

No lockdown. Not really sure what else they can do as they have really done most things except to fully close hospitality. She has also said she isnt going to impose travel restrictions. Schools are to stay open. Really not sure its going to make ANY difference at all.

They clearly are targeting the school holidays too as why have it on the October break otherwise.
I think it will have little effect. Not all schools close for the break at the same time either.

She's already said schools are having their normal holidays. Some get 2 weeks but we only get 1 week. Dont know what the new restrictions could be

Is it not 2 weeks in England?
As far as I know, in Scotland its only ever been one.

Some areas in Scotland get 2 weeks

However they are different weeks. My kids are next week. Some are the following week.

I didn't know that! Then they must lose a week elsewhere?

Possibly pubs and restaurants shut for 2 weeks? I’m not sure that’s where the spread is though

Me neither. Saying that, someone told me last week that a pub they had gone into was heaving. No SD.

Is it not known as the Tattie holidays in some areas?

We are half way through our first week of school holidays!

I'm just interested in what shite swinney will spew out about exams as I have ds in S4!

I think maybe the problem is that people are now tired of these rules and not complying?
In my area I have seen visitors.
I personally dont go out much anway so not going to affect me really.

dementedpixie my mum still call it the tattie holidays.

Oh dear. I have my dd in s3 and one in s1. Must be hard if they are in an exam year.

@RoseDog do you get two weeks?

I saw that in the newspaper. Never heard of the tattie holidays.

We have two weeks, starting on Friday. They were traditionally for tattie picking, yes!

I think further hospitality restrictions - maybe only food places, no just going for a drink? And possibly no household mixing at all, so you could go for lunch with your family you live with, or flat mates or whatever, but not meet other people. But surely that would be really shit for people who live alone?

@RoseDog do you get two weeks

Yep!

I expect some changes will be made, measures need to be taken to reduce the R number.

I dont know what the new measures will entail and would only drive myself crazy trying to second guess!

Personally I think restrictions on travel and ban on meeting other households could be a good idea.

We will see

We cant mix with a household atm.

I thought that was everyhwhere in Scotland?

we cant mix inside.
I can visit my family but only outside.
I think i could go for a meal with my family.
However i couldnt drive them as that isnt allowed!

Households can mix outside homes here, is that not the case throughout? No visitors, but I could meet you in a cafe for lunch.

I had to have a socially distanced meeting outdoors with my mum yesterday for her birthday. Not allowed indoors in a private residence. Only allowed 2 households if eating at a restaurant
