First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has told of her “frustration” at the UK Government’s decision to scrap covid testing.
She used her update to the Scottish Parliament at Holyrood earlier today to blast the lack of “clarity” available to devolved administrations in the rest of the UK about the future funding of coronavirus testing and infrastructure.
It came as she said Scotland would rely less on legal controls and lockdowns to address covid concerns and would instead turn to “vaccines, treatments and sensible public health behaviours” in a bid to remedy any further threat from outbreaks.
