Scotland is edging closer to eliminating the coronavirus, according to
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
Speaking during a briefing on Friday, Sturgeon said that Scotland is
“not far away” from eliminating the novel coronavirus, the BBC reports.
“Today, for the first time since 20 March - pre lockdown - we have
reported a weekday (yesterday) with no registered deaths in Scotland
from COVID (number of deaths registered at weekends can be artificially low),” Sturgeon tweeted Friday. “This is down to sacrifices everyone has made. Thank you”
During Friday's briefing, Sturgeon said that the total number of deaths
in confirmed COVID-19 cases in Scotland remains at 2,482.
Despite Scotland’s progress, Sturgeon has urged people to continue
taking precautions. "Suppressing the virus, driving it as far as we can
towards total elimination has to be our overriding priority," she
said during the briefing. "We have made exceptional progress over the
past three months, and the figures today highlight that. But it has only
been possible, because the vast majority of us have stuck to the rules."
