Covid: NHS staff to be redeployed in booster jab surge - BBC News
Christmas restrictions may be needed and NHS staff may need to cancel leave, health minister says.
New guidelines on social contact are expected to be outlined by Scotland's first minister later.

BBC Scotland political editor Glenn Campbell said this could include advice on how many other people or households you should meet in one day.

The limits are expected to be advice rather than law - and there could be exceptions around Christmas.

The Scottish government has been looking at measures that Ireland has already put in place, which say that no more than four households should gather together in someone's home.

Meanwhile, MPs are set to debate new restrictions for England to deal with the Omicron variant shortly.

They will be voting on four measures, including the introduction of mandatory Covid passes to enter large venues.
