13 Results are taken from questions run on behalf of Scottish Government on the YouGov online omnibus survey. The sample is demographically and geographically representative of adults 18+ across Scotland, with c.1000 responses each week. Fieldwork took place on 15-16 June with a total sample size of 1,005 adults. ‘Complete’ or ‘almost complete’ compliance refers to respondents who rated themselves 6 or 7 on a scale of 1-7 for the question: Thinking about ALL of the guidance from the Scottish Government on what to do and what not to do during the Coronavirus pandemic (including distancing, protection measures and all restrictions)...On a scale of 1-7, where 1 is 'Not at all' and 7 is 'Completely', to what extent do you feel you are following the regulations and guidance?

14 The difference between the Better and Worse scenarios illustrates the difference between different hospital lengths of stay (worse, remaining the same for Delta as it was for Alpha, and better, with a reduced length of stay) for the Delta variant. The number of infections are assumed to be the same in both projections. Both scenarios cover the same wide range of behavioural patterns, from decreased mixing in comparison to now to increased mixing.

15 Total sample size on 15-16 June was 1,005 adults. Sample size for those who have not yet received their first vaccine was 132 adults. ‘Likely’ to be vaccinated refers to respondents who rated themselves 8 to 10 on a scale of 0-10 for the question: How likely or unlikely are you to be vaccinated for COVID-19 when a vaccine becomes available to you? (Please select a number between 0 and 10, where 0 means 'extremely unlikely' and 10 means 'extremely likely')
