Police Scotland will double its presence along the border with England but will not set up checkpoints and road blocks to enforce Nicola Sturgeon's coronavirus travel restrictions, Scotland's top police chief said today. In a statement, the Police Scotland chief said 'highly visible patrols' would instead 'deter anyone who might be considering breaching the coronavirus travel restrictions'. The patrols will also deter anyone who might be considering breaching the coronavirus travel restrictions. 'The Scottish Government and Police Scotland need to ensure clarity around travel restrictions to avoid any public misunderstanding,' he said. 'Our advice is still not to meet indoors even on Christmas Day with other households if you can possibly avoid it.'
