Feb 2021. Glasgow Parties during Lockdown

Scotland's justice secretary has said people are "risking lives" by having house parties during lockdown. Humza Yousaf said there have been "far too many" gatherings at homes, which have become a "challenge" for police. Officers have issued 537 on-the-spot fines since emergency powers to deal with the coronavirus epidemic came into effect last month. Police have also made 35 arrests due to people breaking restrictions between 27 March and 9 April. However Mr Yousaf said many of those who were arrested would normally "come into contact" with police, and may lead "slightly chaotic" lifestyles.
