A thread on another topic kept straying into people's opinions about the Scottish Government's Covid briefings being dropped from the BBC schedules. It seemed to raise a lot of comment so I thought I'd start a new thread.

So, what does everyone think? Feel free to diverge into what you think of NS's performance smile Do you think the WM government should have more briefings?

Can someone help me with knowledge of the most recent briefing. Can cleaners continue working in private houses.

I’ve got the answer yes my cleaner can continue as long as she’s covid free symptoms, wears a mask,has the windows open keeps six metres away from us and uses all the hygiene-methods advised anyway she’s not coming to socialise whew thank goodness for that

Why don't you want to socialise with your cleaning lady Elizabeth? My mother had a cleaning lady for many years and after my mother died she cleaned for my step father and finally helped me enormously after he also died a year later with clearing the house and preparing it for sale. All those years of coffee break chat, and genuine welfare interest on both sides paid enormous dividends! She was a lovely lady now sadly dead, but it was a long time ago and perhaps we were just lucky.
