Commenting on the Scottish Government's decision to extend the lockdown in Scotland by a further three weeks, Dr Liz Cameron OBE, chief executive of the Scottish Chambers of Commerce said:
“As with so many of us, businesses in Scotland are desperate to know when they can resume operations and how to do so safely.
“And while they want to see economic recovery, it must not be at the cost of a second wave of the virus causing a further clampdown. Businesses in Scotland are playing their part keeping employees and customers safe.
“We will continue to urge the Scottish and UK government to take a sensible and pragmatic approach to easing restrictions and both Governments must work hand in glove with business in a meaningful way to achieve this.”
