Scotland signs up to traffic light system to allow quarantine-free foreign travel

Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon pleaded with Scots to reconsider taking foreign holidays this summer as she outlined a new traffic light system for international travel.

Scotland's system is similar to that announced for England last week allowing for quarantine-free travel, Ms Sturgeon told a press briefing in Edinburgh.

However, the SNP leader urged people to opt for 'staycations' instead of travelling abroad this summer, which she said should be done only if essential.
