RUSHES: Coronavirus: Nicola Sturgeon press conference May 4th

Coronavirus: Nicola Sturgeon press conference May 4th; SCOTLAND: Edinburgh: St Andrew's House: INT Nicola Sturgeon MSP (Scottish First Minister) arriving into press conference / statement SOT. (Part 3 of 3) - Now, you might also have heard talk of an app as part of TTI, and I want to address that briefly too, because that’s separate to the kind of digital approach that I’ve just mentioned.

So we want to do that very carefully indeed. So I hope today, albeit very briefly, I have given you a sense of what TTI involves. Because it is something you will increasingly be hearing talked about. And we will give updates on progress and further detail in the days and weeks to come. But this will be an important tool in our efforts over the next few weeks to get some normality back into our daily lives - so please, if you can, do take the time to read the paper, which as I said earlier you will find on www.gov.scot. My last point for now is this one. The work I am sharing with you today and I will share with you tomorrow is for the future - and the hard fact is that we will only be in a position to implement it if we continue to suppress the virus now. So I ask all of you t...
