Coronavirus (COVID-19) Scotland's Strategic Framework update – February 2022: evidence paper

This evidence paper accompanies the Strategic Framework update and provides an overview of the key analysis and evidence underpinning the Framework, published on 22 February 2022.


9. Conclusion

This paper provides the evidence supporting the strategic framework and outlines how we intend to use evidence as we move into the next stage of the pandemic. It sets out the current situation concerning COVID-19, health, societal and economic issues. It looks to the future at the evolving science, at the latest public attitude data, at persistent inequalities and experiences elsewhere in the world. To assist in managing the pandemic in the future a range of plausible scenarios are presented along with a discussion of data and analysis for the future.

By bringing all this evidence together in one publication the intention is to provide an appreciation of the range of issues faced and the science and analysis available to assist in managing and recovering from COVID-19.

The evidence base surrounding COVID-19 and its impacts will continue to evolve in the coming years and we will continue to publish evidence as new insights become available.
