First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon outlined the latest local authority levels to the Scottish Parliament, announcing that:

• East Lothian, Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire will all move into level 3 this Friday 18 December at 6pm following significant increases in their infection rates.
• All other areas remain unchanged in their levels.
• Angus and Falkirk on close watch. The First Minister said  “There have been recent increases in cases in Angus and Falkirk and we will be monitoring both of the areas very carefully over the next week. I cannot rule out a return to level 3 for one or both of them.”
• Cabinet agreed today that there will be a review of the protection levels next week (Tuesday, 22 December) in order to allow for any action to be taken in light of further changes in infection data.
