Nicola Sturgeon just announced a local lockdown in Aberdeen due to an outbreak in a pub which is now resulting in community transmission. Restrictions include:
- People are advised to not travel for further than 5 miles for non-essential reasons
- All indoor and outdoor hospitality (pubs, cafes, restaurants) must close by 5PM and this can be enforced by law (hotels and takeaways can remain open)
- People are no longer allowed to visit people inside or outside of their homes.
Is this a sustainable and practical way forward (locking down whole cities and industries for around 30-40 cases?)
