THE First Minister has urged Scots to “keep the heid” ahead of pubs reopening today.
Nicola Sturgeon said the opening of pubs indoors was the “highest risk” since exiting lockdown began and encouraged those going to the pub to “do so carefully”.
Speaking as Scotland celebrated a sixth day with no deaths from the virus, she said: “I think we all know where alcohol is being taken, sometimes our inhibitions are lower ... we behave in a way we wouldn’t normally do, getting closer to people. We just have to think so much more carefully now.
“None of us enjoy this. We are in the summer, we should be going about our lives normally, in the sunshine, sitting in beer gardens but we can’t do that because we have a deadly virus stalking us.
“We have just got to be really careful and be on our guard. More so when we have had some alcohol.
