Nicola Sturgeon will address the nation today to review and confirm any changes that we might see to the current lockdown measures.
The First Minister will have to decide if she plans to go ahead with indicative dates she has set out which would affect everything from driving lessons to live events.
Scotland still has a number of 'clustered' outbreaks across the country which may affect Nicola Sturgeon's decision making on letting certain indicative dates go ahead.
