Close the Scotland/England border
While Scotland does not currently have the power to close the border, as England is currently the worst affected country in Europe and on track to be the worst on the planet, if England choose to lift its lockdown and we don't, we should use Police and Public health powers to create checkpoints on the Scottish side of the border to turn back any travellers on non essential journeys. The only traffic that should be allowed is freight, emergency services and people crossing the border for work. All other traffic should be turned around.
Welsh police worked this successfully, why can't we?
Why the contribution is important
This will greatly reduce the risk of infection, as Englands infection and death rates far surpass ours.
It will also stop people travelling on holiday or to second homes, putting our NHS in danger of being overwhelmed.
