A British lawmaker who made a long train journey from London to Scotland despite having received a positive test result for COVID-19 is being investigated by the police.

Scottish National Party (SNP) lawmaker Margaret Ferrier learned that her test was positive on Monday after she had spoken in Britainโ€™s parliament at Westminster. On Tuesday she took a train to Glasgow.
โ€œFollowing consultation with Police Scotland, officers from the Metropolitan Police, working with British Transport Police, are conducting an investigation into potential offences,โ€ the Metropolitan Police, Londonโ€™s police force, said in a statement on Friday.
The probe relates to reported breaches of health protection regulations.
The Metropolitan Police said the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards has also been informed.
Earlier on Friday, Scotlandโ€™s first minister and SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon, called on Ferrier to resign.
