People in Scotland have been told to ignore Boris Johnson's announcement that lockdown measures can be eased - because it isn't safe to do so.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon pleaded with Scots "not to get distracted" by messages from England.
In both her daily press conference and a ministerial broadcast on the BBC, Ms Sturgeon said that she believed the risks of changes - particularly to the message to Stay at Home - was too high.
It comes after Mr Johnson last night eased some lockdown restrictions, allowing people to leave their homes multiple times for exercise from Wednesday, and saying sunbathing is acceptable.
But a defiant Ms Sturgeon said: "I won't risk unnecessary deaths by reacting rashly or prematurely."
Ms Sturgeon again thanked the Scottish public for adhering to lockdown measures introduced as a result of the pandemic.
She said: "The extent to which you have stuck to these rules - often at great personal sacrifice - has been truly remarkable.
"Seven weeks ago, the virus was spreading out of control. Today, it is in retreat.
"The progress is real and it is down to you. But our progress is still fragile. If we ease up too soon, the virus could run out of control again."
Ms Sturgeon also offered a special thank you to children, with no date yet set for pupils to return to school north of the border.
She added: "Not being at school, or seeing your friends, or hugging your grandparents is really tough.
"But you have handled it brilliantly. I'm so proud of all of you."
Earlier at her press conference, Ms Sturgeon said people in Scotland must continue to follow Scottish Government guidance - meaning they must stay at home unless it is essential.
"I want to reiterate those announcements do not apply yet here in Scotland," she said.
"That is not, let me stress, for any political reason, it is because the Scottish Government is not yet confident these changes can be made safely in Scotland yet without running the risk of the virus potentially running out of control again.
"So Scotland's lockdown restrictions remain in place for now."
She added that "progress against this potentially deadly virus remains fragile".
The First Minister said: "If we take our foot off the brake too soon, the real danger is we will end up in this lockdown for longer, and worse of all we will lose many more people along the way."
She told Scots: "Please be patient and please try to not get distracted by messages from other parts of the UK - all governments across the UK are trying to do the right thing and all of us have a responsibility to take the steps we think are right at the right time."
Ms Sturgeon added: "Please, if you live in Scotland, abide by the law that applies here and follow Scottish Government guidelines."
She added: "We all want to see our friends and families, we all miss them more with each day that passes. We all want to see children get back to school and we all desperately want to get back to some kind of normality.
"Please know I want all of that too - I want that as your First Minister but actually I also want it as an ordinary person who is missing my family very much indeed."
Last night Mr Johnson said anyone who cannot work from home should return to work.
But he urged people to avoid public transport where possible - and warned that lockdown measures could be reimposed if there is a spike in infections.
