Pretty devastating news for those living in Central Scotland, which includes Glasgow & Edinburgh.

Closure will be from 6pm this Friday for 2 weeks.

Interesting to note that infection rates in Scotland are LOWER than in England, in fact some part of England have infection rates SIX TIMES higher.

    Brave move as this new rule change effects 3/5ths of the population.

    The Glasgow area was given a softer restriction prior. The timing also coincides with the school half-term starting on Friday.

    Short term restrictions make sense to prevent the virus spreading and hopefully this nips things in the bud to stop this prolonging. She has been getting pelters for this one and was given them when she didn't put similar restrictions in place before. A bit of no-win. Hoping this pays off.

    Bad day for pubs and pub-goers mainly of course.

    Never ending isn't it and it's coming up to the regular flu season so I can only see things getting worse again unfortunately.

    This will save Scottish lives and possibly some from covid too.

    As someone who lives in the area I think it's a lot of nonsense, not based on any science or evidence, and no coincidence that announcement made on the same day as this, almost as if they hoped no-one would notice:

    I also agree entirely with this article, this virus is nowhere near as serious as we first thought and if we keep going on like this the collateral damage will far outweigh the effects it has on the country as whole in the long term:

    Yep, when they balls it up they just blame nasty Westminster and start spouting off about a 2nd referendum.
