Parts of Glasgow, Lanarkshire and Ayrshire have experienced spikes since Covidiots decided to celebrate a football result last Sunday.
Escorted by Police Scotland fans were led to George Square where thousands of pounds worth of damage was done as local residents were forced into House Arrest conditions.
After a year of severe restriction in which families could barely meet up, relatives passed away alone and landmarks passed by without any recognition thousands of The People against demonstrated that they are above the law.
Following the booze and celebrations comes the hangover, for some this will be a little longer than usual although for some fans there may be no exit from Intensive Care Units.
Covering today’s First Minister media conference, The Sun reports Dr Gregor Smith saying:
I think it’s still too early to know the full picture of the impact of the events of last weekend in terms of the infection case rate, particularly in west-central Scotland.
What we are saying over the last few days is an increase in the number of cases that we’re associating with many of those areas, particularly with upticks across Lanarkshire, Glasgow city in particular, and parts of Ayrshire and Arran as well.
How closely we can associate that with the events of last weekend is at this stage difficult, but during the interviews the contact tracing teams are having with people who have tested positive, there are a small number who are revealing that they either took part in those celebrations or are involved in house parties that arose from those as well.
So we can’t say that it’s not having an affect at this moment in time because we are seeing a rise in cases. As I say, still too early to tell, the incubation period of this virus is anything up to the kind of 10-day or so period. So what happens over the coming days as well is going to be fairly revealing in that sense.
No retrospective Police action has been reported despite extensive Social Media coverage from George Square and elsewhere.
