Good morning,

An operating theatre nurse working at a private hospital breached government quarantine restrictions when she returned to Edinburgh from holiday in Bulgaria and arrived at work the following Monday.

The theatre nurse – who this newspaper is choosing not to name – returned from a holiday in Bulgaria on Saturday 29 August and was due to work in the private Spire Murrayfield hospital on Monday.

It is understood she breached quarantine restrictions requiring her to self-isolate for 14 days and arrived at work for her shift, before being screened at the entrance to the hospital.

She then had her temperature checked before spending around 20 to 30 minutes in the hospital.

Staff then discovered she was required to self-isolate and asked the nurse to leave and return home. The nurse did not come into contact with any patients.
