RUSHES: Coronavirus: Nicola Sturgeon press conference 15th March 2021

Coronavirus: Nicola Sturgeon press conference 15th March 2021; SCOTLAND: Edinburgh: St Andrew's House: INT Nicola Sturgeon MSP (First Minister of Scotland) press conference opening statement SOT.

That said – and this is quite an important caveat that I need to inject at this point - it is important to note that over the past week, the past seven days, we have actually seen a slight increase in cases. And we will be monitoring that carefully and it does provide us with a reminder that there is still no room for complacency, and tha...
