Scottish Islands
Shetland is not one island. Test the isles with small populations and lift lockdown internally. Inter-island ferries are essential travel only. The majority of the population of around 23,000 is on the mainland around Lerwick. Some isles have less than 50 people, others less than 1000.
Why the contribution is important
Lockdown should be for the minimum time possible.

If it is lifted too early, then the R number will inevitiably increase resulting in exponential transfer of the virus.
Local measures may well be right, where localities are both safe and can be protected. The recent disaster in Skye is a case in point.
Urgent consideration to closing and monitoring traffic at the Skye Bridge should be given.
