Scotland: Coronavirus ends due to Omicron "downward trend"

The Prime Minister of her decentralized government Scotland Nicola Sterzion announced lifting of restrictions from next Monday which had been imposed due to the outbreak of the Omicron mutation of the coronavirus.

Specifically, from January 24, the capacity limits at public events in indoor areas are lifted, the obligation to maintain a distance of one meter in indoor areas, the obligation of restaurants to take orders and serve alcohol only at the table and not at the bar, while reopening the nightclubs. The directive for mixing people from up to three different households indoors is also repealed.

Mandatory use of the mask indoors and on public transport will remain in force. The obligation to present a vaccination certificate at events with more than a thousand spectators will also be maintained.

Capacity limits for outdoor events were lifted yesterday.

Ms Stergion justified the lifting of the measures by referring to "Downward trend" of Omicron mutation epidemiological data, which peaked "in early January".

In the past 24 hours, Ms. Sterzion said, the confirmed cases were 7.752, continuing the downward trend of the last few days. In the last three days the cases have decreased by 63% on a weekly basis. He also said that infection rates fall in all age groups.
