| Good afternoon, The British Government is set to map out new guidelines on Monday as lockdown rules are about to be relaxed, but Holyrood have yet to confirm whether Scotland would be following suit. In fact, it seems likely the Scottish Government is set to keep the current restrictions in place a while longer. This is likely because Scotland is behind the curve with regards to the virus and the rest the country, having had its first person tested positive for Covid-19 after England. So continue to follow the current guidelines under explicitly told otherwise. Here are today's headlines: - The Scottish Government has insisted that it will not lift restrictions until the scientific evidence shows the virus has been sufficiently suppressed, potentially opening the door for different measures being applied in England compared to Scotland.
- The weekly coronavirus death toll in Scotland has fallen for the first time, figures from the National Records of Scotland (NRS) show.
- Edinburgh Airport is to start tested the temperature of departing passengers as the latest measure to curb the spread of Covid-19.
- The UK Government has come under fire after failing to meet its coronavirus test target for the fourth day in a row.
