Decision due on next stage of lockdown easing in Scotland
All mainland council areas are currently in level two, with the exception of Glasgow - which remained under level three restrictions because of an upsurge of cases in the south of the city. This is believed to have been driven by the B.1.617.2 variant, first identified in India.
The Scottish Conservatives have called for a more targeted approach with restrictions imposed on local areas rather than on whole council areas.Renfrewshire and East Renfrewshire both currently have case rates higher than Glasgow.which have increased from a very low level in a relatively short space of time.
The actual number of cases has also guided decisions, such as when East Renfrewshire was allowed to move down to level two, despite a high case rate, because the actual numbers were still relatively low. Soft play centres and funfairs are allowed to reopen, with only nightclubs and adult entertainment having to remain closed.Pubs and restaurants are permitted to serve alcohol until 23:00, rather than 22:30 under level two.
She is hoping to get the go-ahead to reopen next week, and says it will be "devastating" if the area stays in level two.
