So far Scotland has been very evidence lead in their response and have generally let people know what is likely I would be surprised if as an outdoor activity that promotes exercise golf was halted, the most that is likely is restricting who can play in a group possibly to one household.

In Wales they have been very focused on travel and mixing in any form...so no surprise. There is a clear link to non compliance in certain large towns having an adverse impact, hence the local lockdown start, now it's back to the "March" tactic.

Lets hope it works to slow it down. Mind you, in March many folk were saying it was the first of several lock-downs. So this is no surprise.

(Congratulates self on the post being non-political)

Not Good for Wales

Hopefully we still follow the local restrictions- we are currently in a medium risk with very small numbers of infections

A two week lockdown would be a nightmare - especially if they close nurseries - was hard the first time working with daughter at home .
