Scottish Government restrictions which hit hospitality over the festive period hasn’t made “any difference” to Covid cases.
Dumfries publican Stephen Montgomery, who is also a spokesperson for the Scottish Hospitality Group, said the move only caused people to have gatherings at home instead of in controlled environments of pubs and restaurants.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon warned of a “tsunami of cases” of the Omicron variant at the start of December before the Scottish Government urged people to cancel Christmas parties hitting the hospitality sector.
