You may have heard a great deal of discussion yesterday around Scotland potentially on track to enter a 'circuit breaker' lockdown.
But what exactly is a 'circuit breaker' lockdown and how might it affect you, me and our families? Thankfully, our politics reporter Conor Matchett is on hand to explain all here. John Swinney set to announce 2021 exam plans The education secretary is set to announce plans for the 2020/21 exam diet as well as potential contingency plans for exams should schools be forced to close as they were during the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic. 12 areas of Scotland with highest number of coronavirus cases Our newest recruit Beth Murray looked at new data to illustrate the breakdown of coronavirus rates according to council area over seven day period. Glasgow comes out on top as you might expect given it's the most populous and most densely populated council area in Scotland, but there are quite a few surprises in the numbers. And finally... Nessie has been the subject of debate for centuries. Now, sonar technology has picked up a mystery image, 190m deep in Scotland’s largest loch, that one Loch Ness monster expert (yes, there are experts) is calling the “most compelling” evidence of the existence of the legendary creature he has ever seen. More headlines below. Thanks for reading.
