SCOTS experts warned six months ago that international travel was a main driver of Covid-19 infections but the UK’s rigorous test-before-travel scheme was not introduced until yesterday, allowing the virus to circulate freely in Scotland, it has emerged. New rules requiring arrivals to take a negative coronavirus test up to 72 hours before departure and self-isolate for up to 10 days after entering the UK came into effect at 4am yesterday as travel corridors offering exemptions were scrapped. The move is part of the Government’s attempts to prevent new strains of Covid-19 entering the UK. Passengers arriving in the UK yesterday faced long queues of up to two hours at the border as new coronavirus travel rules came into force. Self-scan gates were shut as officals checked all passengers for proof of a negative Covid-19 test result.

Matt Hancock tonight said there will be no immediate change the law to protect doctors from legal action over Covid-19 treatment decisions made under the pressures of the pandemic.
A coalition of health bodies wrote to the Government urging it to update legislation to ensure medical workers do not feel vulnerable to the risk of prosecution for unlawful killing when treating coronavirus patients in circumstances beyond their control .
But the Health Secretary said it was not necessary to change the law as medics were not yet being forced to make such critical decisions.
Health groups, including the British Medical Association, argued there was no legal protection for Covid-related issues, such as when there are surges in demand for resources that temporarily exceed supply .
