Test, trace, isolate
Not an original idea Nicola, but it's no good just waiting for it to gradually go away. You need to much more proactive. So test, trace and isolate. Otherwise we'll be here forever and things will become unmanageable.
Why the contribution is important
Because not doing this will ruin the Scottish people for years to come.

Adopt Test Track and Trace as per rest of the UK.
Gear up testing to ensure all people who are to be isolated in this way are referred for testing rather than waiting to see if they end up in hospital.

We do have a well established network of healthcare facilities in our GP surgeries, a well established network of council and local authority administration. Combined these organisations can identify at risk populations and where they are.
To ramp up testing an army of testers, actual test kits, laboratory facilities to analyse the tests backed up by administrators to log the persons tested and results collated. Plus a method of delivery of the test kits to testing sites, which need to be local, then to labs which will be centralised.
There is at present an available army volunteers that can be mobilised.
Testing is the key coordinated centrally but delivered locally targeting hotspots and high risk groups.
