Emerge i think the timelines involved make it improbable. in short, public health scotland is working hard to identify any or all cases of omicron in scotland as quickly as possible and i am grateful to them for this effort. given the nature of transmission, i consider it highly likely, almost certain, more cases perhaps many more cases will emerge. however, the enhanced surveillance does give us the best probable chance of identifying cases quickly and through isolation of index casing and close contacts and targeted testing of then breaking transmission chains and containing spread while we ...

Citizens, we all have a part to play and this has been true throughout the pandemic, in stemming transmission of the virus in general and let's not forget that while we are talking about nine cases of a new variant right now, 2500 cases of delta are still being recorded each day. suppressing transmission of it remains important but it is important to suppress and contain transmission of the new variant in particular. some of the protections that the uk government announced at the weekend in relation to england for example, a requirement to wear face coverings, are already in place and more ext...

People arriving in the uk from overseas should be asked to self—isolate eight days and take a pcr test on day eight after their arrival as well as on day two. we look forward to discussing that more in future. we will also suggesting the convening of a cobra meeting to discuss this and other issues in the early course would be appropriate. while certainty isn't possible at this stage and won't be possible until we know much more about this new variant, my strong hope is that beyond temporary travel measure is no additional restrictions will be required. but that will depend partly on what in...
