Glasgow has officially been placed under level three of the new lockdown rules to begin on Monday.

It means with travel restrictions people are not to travel outside the city except for essential exemptions.

Even with surrounding areas at the same level, the restrictions apply at a council level so people should not travel outside Glasgow.
