The number of cases of micron variation is “increasing every two or three days in the UK and even faster in Scotland”, he stressed.

To deal with this new wave of infections, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced on Wednesday that he would return to teleworking from Monday and accept a health passport for major events.
The UK is one of the most affected countries in Europe, with more than 146,000 deaths since the outbreak.
Recently, it re-established border and traffic controls or new different combat operations such as the use of masks in shops and public transport.
For his part, the Prime Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon announced that he was tightening health rules. From Saturday, anyone who shares an address with a positive test person should be isolated for 10 days.
