It would be like having four divisions in a football league, the bottom one of which is called 2.

I actually think people in the UK in general would understand the levels of restrictions better if it was discussed in these terms.

Ms Sturgeon said it was important to be targeted and proportionate when applying restrictions.

"We shouldn't have, for example, the Highlands living under a level of restriction that is designed to deal with higher rates of the virus in the central belt."

This  should have been the case as far back as April or so. The Western Isles went weeks (months?) without a case. I've no idea how its took to mid  October to finally realise this

So, what we thinking, Glasgow and Lanarkshire in tier 3, Edinburgh in tier 2, most of the rest of Central belt in tier 1, Highlands and Islands in 0?

I'd prefer LA definitions rather than health boards. 

Both one and the same down here and to the East.

Some posters bizarrely seem under the impression that there's nothing south of the bit we all call 'central'.

I don't particularly like any set of tiered restrictions where there is no opportunity whatsoever of "no restrictions"

Whether or not it's achieveable is a different question, but calling any restrictions "Level Zero" is just "new normal" pish.

Level 0 and 1 allow spectators in stadia limited

Where exactly, don't see many areas with football clubs being in level 1 (level zero a pipedream for now)

very harsh on parts of Lanarkshire, some of the north is lanarkshire in name only, they're weegies, some in the south of the region have more chance catching a sheep disease

Aye, same in places like Fife where case loads will be driven in the big three towns and St Andrews and really nowhere else.

You have to demarcate somehow. Health boards are probably too blunt and postcodes are probably too problematic to police.

No, it’s about having a system that allows for looser restrictions than level 1 in England, while keeping the numbering of the common levels consistent.

Well, I certainly meant no slight by missing out D+G, Tory c***s though you may be. Guessing you lot could make a claim for level 1, though incidence is higher than in the Borders.

Within these levels, we would expect to see low incidence of the virus with isolated clusters, and low community transmission. Broadly, these levels are the closest we can get to normality, without a vaccine or effective treatment in place, before conditions will allow us to move to Phase 4 of the Route Map. They would be similar to the measures in place during the summer, once we reached Phase 3. The Baseline and Level 1 are designed to be sustainable for longer periods.

Never had fans back in the summer. Have you seen something to make you think there's a possibilty of this? (hope so!)

 

**Seeing Page 62 myself now. Although tend to think the SFA, would still put some hurdles in the way. And I reckon Level 0-1 is unachievable in the Central Belt**

or a building with a ground floor and floors 1,2 and 3....

 

Incidentally, I really should post on "petty things that annoy you" about how Scottish fitba copied the english naming of leagues, absolutely detest Premiership, Champoinship etc.  I was hoping that there may have been league reconstruction in the summer and we could have reverted to division 1 etc.

Its a complete new framework to the summer one. so yes if your are in level 1 some spectators appear to be allowed. Getting into level 1 is the mystery we need to wait on.

Well you caused grave, grave offence.

The majority of voters down here are not Tories, so please avoid that essentially right wing thing of attributing characteristics to individuals within a population, based on a perceived big picture.

We'll be Level 2 I would think.  We had a well publicised spate of deaths at a care home recently that you must have missed.
