The Scottish comedy circuit could face a two week shutdown according to a leaked memo.

The details, circulated on social media after appearing on the Guido Fawkes website, suggest that new measures to curb the spread of Covid-19 could include the closure of entertainment venues in Scotland for a fortnight in October. 

It has been reported that First Minister Nicola Sturgeon might announce these new measures at her daily briefing today (Tuesday) after a Cobra meeting with Boris Johnson.
