ADDITIONAL restrictions have been placed on travellers arriving in Scotland from the Ethiopia, Oman, Qatar and Somalia.

All passengers travelling to Scotland will be required to enter managed quarantine if they have been in one of these countries in the 10 days before arrival.

Exemptions from isolation will be cut, and available only for a short list of essential workers.

Transport Secretary Michael Matheson said: “The virus continues to pose real risks to health and to life here and around the world and we need to interrupt the rise in cases, meaning we need to limit the importation of variants of concern.”
