Scottish Greens have backed the tightening of restrictions over Christmas announced by the First Minister in the face of a new strain of COVID-19.
Following a similar announcement by the Prime Minister for England, Nicola Sturgeon has said a planned relaxation of restrictions for five days will now be limited to Christmas day only, with three weeks of level Four restrictions across mainland Scotland to follow.
Scottish Greens have reiterated the call to close schools early so they do not open next week.
