Lax approach to lockdown in Dundee
Some Dundonians have opted not to lock themselves down, instead acting as normal.
Despite the nationwide call to stay at home and help save lives, many Dundonians are treating the day nearly as business as usual.
Numerous vehicles can be see driving around the town, despite the threat of Covid-19 (coronavirus), and many local grocery stores are quite busy with customers. Other people have taken to walking around town, seemingly unhurried to be back at home safely.
Despite roadblocks outside of town, there appears to be law enforcement in town is hard stretched to monitor the situation.
