Looks like it will be UK wide for travel regs. Hope so, no confirmation yet but if Scots have to pay for PCRs and the rest of the UK don’t, there will be a ruckus !

 

Btw, this is for double vaxxed folks !
Happy holidays !

We have been paying more for day 2 tests through Scottish Gov than England for months

they have to recover the lost £600000 somehow

I see that Lord Bethell  (of private emails re Covid contracts) has left his role at the Department of Health.  No doubt he will cite the reason as "to spend more time looking after his phone".

If you mean England in reference to cross border travel, didn’t think that had any legal standing, plus I ain’t aware of any border control at Gretna. At no point in my life have I ever went through a Scottish passport control, only a UK one. I just assumed, its a reserved matter.

 

Its maybe a mute point because is within the SG, I suspect they follow Westminster.

 

I genuinely have no idea if border control a reserved or resolved matter even after a 10 second google🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s reserved to Westminster

But it said: “A UK Government decision to implement proposals to remove the requirement for a pre-departure test in England and to use lateral flow tests on day two have not been adopted at this stage in Scotland due to significant concerns at the impact on public health.

“The testing of international travellers, both before and after travel, is an important part of our border health surveillance to minimise the risk of importing variants of concern.

“The Scottish Government aims to maintain a four-nations approach to international travel restrictions, but will need to carefully consider the risks associated with aligning with the UK Government.”

If the SG is so concerned about the "impact on public health", then why the hell are they accepting the proposals to eliminate the "amber" designation.

 

I would have more respect for a decision to retain the amber status, than I do for the petty politicking of abandoning "amber" but retaining tests and the costs that go with it.  It will certainly create a backlash as Scottish travellers are financially disadvantaged by the testing regime once again. It will only serve to drive customers to depart from English airports, with the added impact on the viability of maintaining a full range of holiday destinations from Scottish airports.

It’s pure politics, pure and simple. I’d imagine most holiday makers from abroad, not I’d a Red Zone will fly into England spend a couple of days there then possibly come into Scotland.

Easy way to sort this. Make PCR tests free for overseas travellers.

If they want to keep an eye on new variants etc, fine, but you, the government, pay for it. 
Otherwise, people will stop listening and, frankly, just tell them to piss off !

Yeah, because no other country on earth provided financial support or procured vaccines or delivered a faster vaccination rate.* 🙄

*footnote: The UK's "world-beating" vaccination program is 14th in the world (% of population vaccinated as at 16/09/21).  

Unbelievable post. Absolutely incredible offering, bereft of any gratitude,  intellect or logic.

In short, the ramblings of a swivel eyed, Nationalist fanatic.

 

So, the billions of furlough funding from the UK govt, some borrowed at far more preferential rates than a fledgling separate state with a huge deficit could dream of, are just accepted with a shrug of the shoulders and an "oh well, that's what countries do".  

 

Setting aside the fact that the UK furlough scheme was the most generous of all G7 nations, other than the US. The vaccine programme was world leading and saw the most vulnerable vaccinated, months ahead of the EU tortoise scheme. Saving thousands of lives.

Eventually,  of course they will catch up, only because of a higher take up rate. Obviously, outwith the control of Govts.

 

Breathtaking nonsense from you Gizmo, even by your previous standards. Each of your posts seem to plummet to a new nadir.

It was a factual post, you might want to wind your neck in. 

Incidentally, what type of "gratitude" do you think I should afford this goverment for doing what we elected them to do? Should I perhaps go out into the street at 8pm tomorrow evening and rattle some pots & pans to show my appreciation, and perhaps send them a wee badge in the post?

Can’t believe they are doing this. Its as good as stopping anyone going away on holiday or visiting friends abroad.

[theshed]

It’s also the disaster for people who work at Edinburgh airport. 
The couple over from me both work at Edinburgh airport and have been furloughed since the start. They have been told they will get back when things pick up but after furlough stops they will only be paid 20% of their wages until there is enough work for them to go back. 
 

I hate to think how this couple are feeling this morning reading about how the Scottish government are basically keeping them out of work

Indeed. This is the latest stupid soundbite to test the water and it may be left to Sturgeon to stand up in parliament next week and say that they have taken into account all views, blah, blah blah.... and that they will follow the rest of the UK. Once again she comes out of it clean looking like the hero (in her eyes anyway).

 

I'm due to go away in November, and unless there is a sharp u-turn them I will be looking to fly out of Newcastle. The biggest threat from Covid for the people who live in Scotland is to stay here and go about their daily lives. A trip almost anywhere else will, for the time they are outside Scotland, considerably reduce their chances of catching Covid!

Nothing has changed. You need to book the tests, fill in the locator forms and follow the guidance. It's well publicised and pretty simple really.

Indeed but the travel industry in Scotland will be far from happy. Testing has stopped people from travelling due to the additional costs.

It’s a racket, frankly.

As I’ve said, make the PCR’s free and everyone will be happy.

Let’s face it, if they’re doing away with it down south, that’s a barometer if ever there was one !

I'm sure they won't be happy. To be honest i'm not overly happy at having to pay 60 odd quid for a test, but thems the rules as they stand right now.

I know what your saying but the testing before you come home is a huge gamble. 
Let’s say a 16 year old kid with his family tests positive when over there then that’s means he’d have to isolate in hotel over there for 10 days and a member of his family stay with him. 

 

Everyone I’ve talked to won’t go away due to the testing before you come home. Take that away like England has done and it makes life much more enjoyable when over there as there’s no fear of doing a test to get home

It might surprise a few to learn that I'm not a defend the SNP at all costs type either.

They'll fall into line with rUK pretty quickly I suspect. 

October week will still be busy I believe. People, like me, will just say **** it and gamble on going away.

If you shop around you can get day 2 tests for 40ish quid (still a ram up IMO) and the pre return tests are around 18 euros. 

It's an added cost but right now flight and accommodation prices are through the floor.

Yea, I’m looking to get over to Italy in the next couple of months. Aside from the very obvious gamble of getting it over there, the tests are an added expense that seems unfair depending on where you stay.

Personally, I can wait and jump on it nearer the time but I do feel for families who enjoy the October break. The industry will be seething as, even if they change it later, people would be booking now if there was a removal of testing. 
I think the government are on a hiding to nothing as if they change it come October, many people will have already made a decision not to go.

 

In saying all that, a holiday is pretty far down the list of worries for many people suffering right now so it’s not a disaster.

It is a gamble, but a fairly slight gamble depending on where you are going. I'm heading off to the Canaries where the current rate is 33 cases per 100,000, meanwhile in Scotland the rate is 598 cases per 100,000. It's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut or perhaps, as is so often the case, it is just about being different.

So yes, the stats hadn't caught up yesterday as the PHS page had implied. Thought it was too good to be true. Think we're still heading in the right direction case-wise though. Who knows? It would be nice to not have to face so many data issues, especially this far down the line when the lessons should have been learnt.

Scottish numbers: 18 September 2021

Summary

• 6,116* new cases of COVID-19 reported [+587; up from 4,298 a week ago]
• 73,358* new tests for COVID-19 that reported results [+13,281]
  • 9.0% of these were positive [-0.9%]
• 27 new reported death(s) of people who have tested positive [-3]
• 99 people were in intensive care yesterday with recently confirmed COVID-19 [+12]
• 1,052 people were in hospital yesterday with recently confirmed COVID-19 [+15]
• 4,151,735 people have received their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccination and 3,802,183 have received their second dose [+1,578; +3,245]

* There may be variability in the number of new cases and tests reported in the latest 24 hour period. This is due to a backlog of data being processed following technical issues affecting reporting on 16 September 2021.

The latest trend stats. All or most of that red today is due to the stop-start nature of the data in the last few days, and it's not evident that the catch-up is over yet. The positivity rate is still on the slide, the 7-day rate almost below double figures now. Deaths have increased significantly over the last few days. Large jump in the number of folk in ICU overnight and hospitalisations continuing to increase.

The latest trend stats. All or most of that red today is due to the stop-start nature of the data in the last few days, and it's not evident that the catch-up is over yet. The positivity rate is still on the slide, the 7-day rate almost below double figures now. Deaths have increased significantly over the last few days. Large jump in the number of folk in ICU overnight and hospitalisations continuing to increase.
