28. 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 19-20 October with a total sample size of 1003 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 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?

30. The difference between the scenarios: ‘Central’ assumes that infections will rise or plateau at the current level, resulting from a small rise in transmission. ‘Worse’ assumes a larger rise in transmission from the current level. ‘Better’ assumes a small drop in transmission. All three scenarios account for the end of the half-term period and the start of the COP 26 conference beginning in Glasgow on 31st October. Due to this, there is a large amount of uncertainty as to the potential impact on infections. All scenarios are based on current vaccine roll-out plans and efficacy assumptions.
