Nicola Sturgeon has announced when the move to level one restrictions will be announced.
The First Minister was joined by the National Clinical Director Jason Leitch as she provided an update on the pandemic in Scotland.
It came as the FM confirmed a concerning rise in cases, but stated that there were "still grounds for optimism" as the country continues to move out of lockdown.

On Friday (May 28), 641 new cases were reported overnight, with two additional deaths. Nicola Sturgeon also confirmed that the R number could be "as close to 1.3", but added this higher rate of transmission "could be significantly driven by Glasgow".
With Glasgow currently sitting as the only area still in level three, the FM stated that there were "early signs" the outbreak there is stabilising and said a decision will be made next week on moving the area to level two.
However, for the rest of mainland Scotland, Sturgeon confirmed that a final decision will be made on whether or not level one can be introduced on Tuesday (June 1).
If level one is confirmed, the eased restrictions will come into force from June 7.
Currently, level one guidance includes up to eight people from three households being able to meet in an indoor public place such as cafe, restaurant or pub.
Numbers for events, both indoor and outdoor, as well as weddings and funerals will also be larger. You can find all of the level one rules here.
While asking all of those in Scotland, both in and outside of Glasgow to "play their part" in keeping transmission low, the FM also tried to put the latest data "into perspective".
She added that there is early evidence vaccination is breaking the link between case numbers and serious illness and death.
The FM explained that this allows for a different type of response than previously, when a rise in cases would ultimately result in a rise in deaths two or three weeks later.
She said: "If we can have greater confidence the overall health impact of Covid is improving, we can move to a situation where we're not relying on these very quickly applied and very stringent measures."
