Nicola Sturgeon has told Scots not to travel to England unless it is for 'essential purposes'. The Scottish First Minister made the plea on Saturday as Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced a second lockdown for England to curb the recent surge in coronavirus cases. From Thursday, England will enter a second national lockdown expected to last until December 2. Sturgeon has also said she and the Scottish Government will seek clarity over the furlough extension announced by Johnson. In a series of tweets urging Scots to stick to the new rules, Ms Sturgeon also said people are being asked not to travel to or from England.
