    Canada has fined two passengers for presenting a false or misleading COVID-19 test before boarding a flight to the country, the first time travelers have been hit since the introduction in January of mandatory pre-departure negative tests, the Canadian transport regulator said on Thursday. One of the passengers was fined C$10,000 ($7,871) while the other was fined C$7,000 for falsifying the COVID-19 test when they traveled from Mexico on January 23, Transport Canada said in a statement.

  • Nicola Sturgeon claims Scotland could be back in lockdown next winter despite UK vaccine success

    Scotland could be forced into another lockdown next winter if restrictions are relaxed too quickly this time, Nicola Sturgeon has insisted despite the vaccination programme already dramatically cutting deaths among the most vulnerable. The First Minister said the “worst thing” the Scottish Government could do would be to lift the current rules too rapidly, as this would mean the virus "running out of control again" and risk sending the nation “back to square one”. Although she reiterated that the vaccines have already reduced care home deaths, she warned that Scots could be forced to wear face masks and observe social distancing long after the roll-out is completed. Prof Jason Leitch, Scotland's national clinical director, said there would also have to be severe restrictions on international travel "for some time." The First Minister expressed her determination to continue with her Covid "elimination" strategy - to drive the virus down to very low levels - even if the Pfizer and Oxford vaccines means the number of Covid deaths and hospitalisations falls dramatically. But a senior public health expert said the plan was "near impossible" thanks to the UK's close links with the Continent and warned it would mean Scotland being cut off from the world for a prolonged period. Dr Christine Tait-Bukard, a research fellow in the department of infection and immunity at the University of Edinburgh's Roslin Institute, said that "we just have to start to live with the virus" and the "reality" of it being so widespread across the world was that it is "here to stay." She argued that vaccination makes this pragmatic approach possible, echoing Matt Hancock's intervention last weekend that he hoped vaccines and treatments will turn Covid into a disease we can "live with, like we do flu" by the end of the year.
