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 21-22 September with a total sample size of 1005 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 plateau at the current level. ‘Better’ assumes that infections will continue to fall.. Only ‘Better’ and ‘Central’ scenarios have been included as there has been an improvement and ‘Worse’ is less likely. ‘Worse’ may return in future projections. All scenarios are based on current vaccine roll-out plans and efficacy assumptions.
