Scots urged to limit socialising to three households

People in Scotland have been asked to limit socialising to three households at a time in the run-up to Christmas amid concerns over the Omicron variant.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the advice would not apply on Christmas Day and that plans should not be cancelled.

But she said people should reduce their social contacts with other households "as far as possible".

Shops and hospitality venues will also be told to bring back physical distancing and screens.

Ms Sturgeon said that Scotland is facing a "likely tsunami" of new infections of Covid-19 in the weeks ahead, with a "very significant" impact on health services.

She said: "Before and immediately after Christmas, please minimise your social mixing with other households as much as you can.

"However, if you do plan on socialising - either at home or in indoor public places - we are asking that you limit the number of households represented in your group to a maximum of three. And make sure you test before you go."

The first minister stressed that she was not asking anyone to cancel their Christmas plans, and that places of worship would remain open.

Every great nation that once celebrated its virtues is now enslaved to the modern Hydra.

"Scots urged to limit socializing to three households" that's because a multi-year, RCT, double-blinded placebo-controlled study definitively proved that exactly three household socialization was optimal for "fighting" covid ... it's SCIENCE!, you know ...
