29. 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 5-6 October with a total sample size of 1044 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?

31. The difference between the scenarios: Worse' assumes a rise in transmission similar to that seen in June and August. 'Central' assumes that infections will plateau at the current level. 'Better' assumes that infections will continue to fall. Worse scenario has been included this week in response to the increase of Covid-19 in wastewater (a rise of appx 17%). All scenarios are based on current vaccine roll-out plans and efficacy assumptions.
