PRESS RELEASE, The Welsh Government has closed the Border with those other areas of the UK that have high rates of transmission of COVID-19 with Nicola Sturgeon giving her support to the Welsh First Minister Mark Drayford on this issue. However she has been very silent on the doing the same in Scotland. We engaged in a Border Protest on Friday 16th October 2020 calling on The Scottish First Minister to implement a Ban on all People travelling from areas of high prevalence of COVID-19 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland to Scotland. The Corona Virus is out of control in a lot of areas outside Scotland in that there are 17 areas in the UK with over 400 cases per 100, 000 ranging from Derry City and Strabane at 825 per 100, 000 to Bury at 409 per 100, 000. We at Action for Scotland are demanding that the Scottish Government stop all people from engaging in non essential travel from areas of high prevalence with this deadly virus from areas of England, Wales and Northern Ireland coming to Scotland. The Scottish Government must protect the Public Health of the People of Scotland by imposing such Travel Restrictions. Professors Devi Sridhar and Rowland Kao from Edinburgh University have previously stated that people coming through ports of entry and at the border bring the Corona Virus to Scotland and therefore we must close these borders and ports of entry to those who are coming from areas with higher rates of infection than Scotland. As at the date of writing Scotland’s two highest rates of infection are lower than the highest rates elsewhere in the UK namely Lanarkshire at 305 and Glasgow being at 280 cases per 100, 000. Nicola Sturgeon must now implement Travel Restrictions to protect our people from COVID-19. Sean CLERKIN Action for Scotland, ENDS.
