Prof @LindaBauld says changes announced by the PM are “consistent with pursuing a suppression rather than an elimination strategy in England”. “This is different from the approach previously set out by the Scottish Government which focuses as much as possible on elimination"
Prof Bauld adds: "The framing is different. The extent to which the policies are different will become clearer when we hear more about the Scottish Government’s plans going forward.”
Prof Bauld said there would be “tensions” if England “allows the virus to circulate even at low levels because the risk of outbreaks remains and what happens in England will affect Scotland because of travel between the two countries”
