1:24Now PlayingScotland is targeting a substantial reopening of its economy from late April if recent progress in suppressing the virus continues, but First Minister Nicola Sturgeon warned that any decisions on an easing of rules will be driven by “data not dates.”
The Scottish government is aiming to reopen shops, bars, restaurants and hairdressers from the last week of April, in the first major easing of nationwide lockdown rules that were introduced at the end of last year. Before that, other restrictions, such as the stay-at-home requirement, will be progressively eased if the data allows, she told lawmakers in Edinburgh on Tuesday.
Sturgeon declined to give indicative dates for restrictions being lifted, like U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson did Monday, arguing that decisions will be driven by data and scientific advice rather than “arbitrary dates.”
