Covid restrictions are unlikely to return in Scotland despite a significant rise of new infections, Jason Leitch has said.An estimated one in every 20 Scots had Covid last week - amounting to 250,700 people.It is an increase from 176,900 - around one in 30 people - the previous week, the highest level in the UK.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said it would be "sensible" for people to wear face coverings indoors, however there is no legal requirement to do so.
Speaking on BBC's Sunday Show, Professor Leitch, Scotland's national clinical director, said he "honestly" does not think mandatory restrictions will be reintroduced.
He said: "Something dramatic would have to happen to the virus. We've got fatigue from this. We're all a bit fed up. People are going back about their business."Glastonbury is on, TRNSMT is on next week.
