THE SCOTTISH Parliament must be recalled amid fears the third wave of coronavirus is “spinning out of control”, according to opposition parties.
Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar has urged MSPs to return to Holyrood, claiming the government has lost its grip on the virus with Scotland’s rate of new cases now the highest of all four UK nations.
New Public Health Scotland figures have also shown levels of school pupils getting tested for the virus plummeting in the last two months, with as little as 0.8 per cent of pupils in one council area being tested every week.
