Nicola Sturgeon has said the covid situation may have stabilised in East Renfrewshire - an area that has been causing the Government concern.
Sturgeon said last week that the council area, which had a higher seven-day average rate of cases than Glasgow, would remain in Level 2.
She had said the total number of cases in East Renfrewshire was significantly smaller than in Glasgow and could be traced to “specific household clusters”.
During a media briefing today, she said there are signs for “cautious optimism”..
She said: “It appears that the situation may have stabilised in East Renfrewshire, and indeed case numbers there may in fact have fallen very slightly. That said, it remains really important that residents continue to come forward for testing and vaccination.
