Coronavirus One-upmanship - Any Advance On 17?

Sky News reported on the latest example of Coronavirus 'one-upmanship' with the news that Wales has imposed a 17 day period of additional Covid-19 restrictions which is, of course, one day more than the measures announced by the Scottish Government last week.

Follow the link below to Sky News, but I wonder who'll be first to get to 19, 20 and beyond?

 



Coronavirus: 'Wales to enter 17-day circuit break lockdown', leaked letter reveals

The lockdown will take Wales "back to the situation in March", when businesses shut and people were told they must stay at home.

The Welsh government will announce its next move on Monday

A "circuit break" lockdown for Wales will start at 6pm next Friday and last for 17 days, according to a leaked letter from the transport union CPT.


Mixed Messages and Covid-19 (19/20/20)


 






Just the other day the Scottish Government announced its intention to 'align closely' with the rest of the UK over tougher measures to stop the spread of Covid-19. 

But soon afterwards the Scottish Government was 'spinning' the message that Nicola Sturgeon would go just that little bit further, in another case of the Covid-19 one-upmanship our politicians seem unable to resist.   

See the links below to contrasting reports in the Glasgow Times and The Times.

Nicola Sturgeon says Scotland will 'align closely' with Boris Johnson's three tier lockdown system

Boris Johnson has announced a three-tier lockdown system for England which Nicola Sturgeon said Scotland would be closely aligned with.

The Prime Minister said the system of Medium, High and Very High would determine what interventions were needed in certain areas to avoid a full-scale national lockdown again.

Medium is the current national restrictions which cover most of England with the rule of six on gatherings indoors

High includes the rule of six outdoors as well.
