Scotland Further Tightens COVID-19 Restrictions

VOA News

   Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced Wednesday the
   government will tighten its lockdown measures, while stepping up its
   vaccination program in an effort to halt the spread of COVID-19 in the
   country.

   Speaking to Scotland's parliament, Sturgeon said that so-called "click
   and collect" services -- ordering items online and then picking them up
   at a retailer -- would be restricted to only essential items.
