Regular statements about Covid-19 from the First Minister and the Scottish government have been discontinued, and replaced with more general guidance and information .

Information and Guidance from Highland Council and NHS Highland continue to be issued and referenced here, on a fortnightly and weekly basis respectively.

This page has been set up to explore issues and opinions around the idea that recovery from Covid-19, when it comes, offers an opportunity to 'bounce forward' (Rob Hopkins), or 'Build Back Better' - particularly with regard to reducing inequality and taking action to mitigate the effects of climate change - rather than just reverting to 'business as usual'.
