Coronavirus: PM 'must show respect' to UK nations over lockdown

The SNP's Mr Ian Blackford said: 'We are still facing an enormous death toll and everything we do should be based on the scientific and medical advice. 'What we should be focusing on are the health considerations for the public and the absolute desire to drive down the impact of this virus. 'If we allow an earlier removal of restrictions, all we are going to do is run the risk of that second spike and the impact on the health of individuals and the economy will actually be greater. 'There has to be discipline and an appreciation from the population of what we are doing and why.' Also appearing on the Good Morning Scotland programme, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said he was 'worried' about Scotland potentially taking a different approach to restrictions to the rest of the UK. He said: 'Across the United Kingdom, we went into lockdown together and I think it would be far better if any easing or relaxation was done together. 'There are real problems if different regions and different nations do it at different times.
