Every week when @NicolaSturgeon announces the weekly review Covid tiers, @scotgov publishes an evidence paper showing numbers for each council in 5 indicators. But public health officials’ advice is removed 1/4
Here is the leaked version with the public health advice for Edinburgh last week. DPH refers to NHS Lothian’s director of public health 2/4
Contrast with Aberdeen’s advice. The city was kept in Level 2 despite having a higher Covid case rate than Edinburgh and advice saying ‘additional control measures’ required 3/4
The paper was leaked to the petitioners who lost their judicial review court case on Friday to have the Edinburgh decision suspended. They are now considering an appeal so the court can consider the document 4/4
