Public health expert says policymakers between rock and hard place over allowing fans to congregate
Many Scots are struggling to understand the logic of allowing thousands of football fans to congregate in Glasgow without mandatory Covid testing, according to one of the country’s leading public health experts, amid a growing row over inconsistencies in Scottish government restrictions.
Linda Bauld, a professor of public health at the University of Edinburgh, said policymakers were “between a rock and a hard place”. Speaking on BBC Radio Scotland’s Good Morning Scotland programme, she said: “This has become a big issue in Scotland, because it’s being allowed to go ahead at a time when lots of other things are still restricted and Glasgow is only a week out of level three.”
