Lockdown Scotland: Pubs to close for 16 days and no alcohol in restaurants, '''leaked docs''' claim

A SERIES of apparent leaks reveal details of a social curbs the Scottish Government is said to be preparing to land on Scots later today.

All pubs and bars will be forced to close for 16 days from Saturday, October 10 to Sunday, October 25 under a "brake to the virus", according to one document - potentially with longer shutdowns for the Central Belt.

But cafes and holiday accommodation will remain open, and "financial compensation" is being prepared for the holiday sector, screenshots purporting to be of Scottish Government policy and guidance suggest.

The details emerged ahead of a statement by Nicola Sturgeon in parliament at 2.50pm today.

Sturgeon says Scots have recently been following the rule saying they must not meet in other people’s homes.

That should make a difference, she says.

She says, if she was acting on health grounds alone, she would go further. But she has to take into account the economic impact too, she says.

In five areas pubs will have to close completely during this period.
