Nicola Sturgeon has confirmed tougher lockdown across Scotland as coronavirus cases continue to rise and daily deaths reached a new record level.

She announced six changes to take effect from Saturday.

The First Minister said click and collect retail services would have to be limited to essential services.

Ms Sturgeon said clothing, footwear, baby equipment, homeware and books would still be available for click and collect.

Click and collect appointments will also need to be staggered and no waiting inside for collection allowed.

Takeaways will be restricted, customers will not be able to wait inside and can only be served from a hatch.

It will be against the law to drink alcohol outdoors in public anywhere in Scotland.

Employers will need to, in law, allow staff to work from home where possible.

Work taking place inside houses will only be permitted if it is essential for the "upkeep, maintenance and functioning of the household".

The law will be amended for people not to leave or remain outside home for anything other than an essential purpose.

Ms Sturgeon said: "The situation we face remains extremely serious."

She added the new variant was "spreading rapidly" and said new cases were still far too high and "pressure on NHS was increasing further".

Ms Sturgeon said "We must continue to do as much as possible to reduce case numbers."

The latest statistics showed there were 1949 new cases reported.

There were 1794 are in hospital, up 77 and 1005 people had been admitted in the first week of January alone.
