EDINBURGH, Scotland (LifeSiteNews) — Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has called for Scots to continually test themselves for COVID-19 “before mixing socially,” as fear and restrictions over the omicron variant of the virus is promoted throughout the U.K.
Speaking at a press conference Monday, Sturgeon outlined her new guidance for Scots in light of the omicron variant of COVID-19.
“At this stage we are asking people to significantly step up and increase compliance with all existing precautions,” she declared, accusing Scots of having “slipped up” in their adherence to her restrictions on daily life and freedoms.

Mentioning hand-washing and the wearing of facemasks, Sturgeon added to her list of precautions “getting vaccinated, and of course testing yourself regularly with lateral flow devices, and from now on testing yourself regularly before mixing socially with people from other households.”
“So on any occasion that you are intending to socialise or mix with people from other households — whether that is in a pub, a restaurant, a house or even a shopping centre — please do an LFD test,” ordered Sturgeon.
