Good afternoon,

Fresh coronavirus lockdown measures have been imposed on parts of the west of Scotland as cornavirus cases continue to rise.

People in East Dunbartonshire and Renfrewshire have been ordered not to go inside other houses or let people into their own homes in a bid to stem a surge of cases in recent weeks.

The measures were unveiled after a meeting of the Scottish Government Reslience Room (SGoRR) ,which also decided to continue with similar restrictions in Glasgow, West Dunbartonshire and East Renfrewshire Council areas that were imposed last week.

Some of the councils affected are also expected to advise against visiting more than one pub on a night out.
