Margaret Ferrier, the MP who travelled from London to Scotland after testing positive for coronavirus, will face no further police action, the Metropolitan Police have confirmed because the regulations on self-isolation came into force after she was tested.

A Scotland Yard spokesperson said: “As such, there will be no further action in relation to this investigation from the Metropolitan Police.

“We are in liaison with Police Scotland and have referred the matter to them for consideration.

“We continue to urge everyone to abide by all legislation and any relevant guidelines to help protect themselves and others.”
