John Swinney adds “There must be a degree of community transmission” after analysing the travel history of positive cases
At this point, there is no evidence of “serious illness” in these cases. But Dep FM still says it’s unclear what impact omicron has on illness.
Swinney says physical distancing is an obvious measure to lower transmission. Says “We may need to look at measures of that nature” but nothing confirmed yet.
Says it’s too early for talk of Xmas changes. Adds we need to follow current mitigations(masks, ventilation etc)
