At a glance: Scotland's new coronavirus levels system

A new system for dealing with coronavirus will come into effect across Scotland next week.

It involves five levels, zero to four, and will begin on November 2 after parliament approved the framework on Tuesday.

Level zero represents the closest to normal the country can get without effective treatment or a vaccine, whereas level four will be much closer to the full lockdown restrictions seen from the end of March.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said on Friday that North and South Lanarkshire council areas are being considered for the highest level of restrictions under the proposed tier system.

Other areas in the central belt covered by tougher measures would likely move into level three, while the rest of the country would be at level two.

Sturgeon said it was hoped local authority areas including the Highlands, Shetland, Orkney, the Western Isles and Moray would go into level one, while Dundee could also go into level three.
