Covid in Scotland: Sturgeon objective 'to eliminate' virus

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has ดาวน์โหลด slotxo ios said Scotland's objective must be "to eliminate" coronavirus.

She told Holyrood's Covid-19 committee that striving to get new case numbers as low as possible was the only way to keep it under
control.

Ms Sturgeon said "the virus won't play ball" with any effort to maintain case numbers at a "medium level".

The Scottish government has begun to ease some lockdown restrictions, although a stay at home order remains.

Chief Medical Officer Dr Gregor Smith said he did not believe coronavirus could be "eradicated", but said an elimination strategy of
driving case numbers as low as possible would make outbreaks more manageable.

The government has brought forward some "relatively minor" easing of restrictions, with an increase in the number of people who
are allowed to mix outdoors to begin on Friday.

Ms Sturgeon will set out a more detailed timetable for lifting lockdown next week, with the government aiming to return to
a regional "levels" system of local restrictions by late April.

She told MSPs that the country was "heading firmly in the right direction right now", but said "we cannot afford to take our foot
off the brake too soon".
