Further restrictions could be put in place to stem the spread of coronavirus, the First Minister has warned.
Nicola Sturgeon said the significant number of new Covid-19 cases was a cause for concern.
She said the 1522 cases reported over the weekend alongside the 697 on Monday showed that the virus was on the rise again, as it is in many other countries.
Sturgeon said: “It is vital that we do everything we can to get this situation under control.”
The First Minister said she is hopeful the restriction on visiting other people’s houses will “help us stem the increase of the virus over the next period”.
However, she warned: “Given the numbers we are seeing – I have been very open about this over the past few days – it is possible that we will have to do more.
“There may well be a need for some further restrictions in the near future.”
