One of Nicola Sturgeon’s top advisors has warned that a new Covid variant found in America could potentially lead to more deaths this winter, and overworked health care workers, unless the NHS gets the support it needs.
Prof Devi Sridhar, global public health professor at the University of Edinburgh warned there could be a new wave coming and that herd immunity will not work with Covid - meaning there will be more strains in the future.
The advisor to the First Minister explained that a spike in infections is the general pattern of Covid, but that the UK could beat the virus if we 'act wisely.'
