Very high call numbers to NHS 24 today. Please only call 111 if your symptoms are worsening and you need help. nhsinform.scot/coronavirus has everything you need and 0800 028 2816 will help too. We need the 111 line for those who really need it. Scottish Government Scottish Governmenthealth

Some confusion today.
1) there is NO PLAN to ask over 70s to completely socially isolate as with the symptomatic
2) we are working on guidance for the over 70s to be asked to REDUCE social contact for their safety. So no bingo, no pubs…BUT family visits and neighbours etc.

Chief Medical Officer Cath Calderwood has released more information on staying at home for those showing symptoms of symptoms #coronavirus .
