Nicola Sturgeon to give covid update at Holyrood today - here's what time and how to watch it

Nicola Sturgeon is to give an update on the covid pandemic today.

The First Minister is scheduled to give an announcement at the Scottish Parliament days after lockdown easing in Glasgow.

Glasgow officially moved into Level 2 on Saturday meaning Glaswegians were allowed to welcome six people from three households in their homes, drink indoors at a pub, cafe, or restaurant, or meet eight people from eight households outdoors.

Announcing the changes, Ms Sturgeon said Scotland is at a "delicate and fragile point" in its battle against coronavirus.

Despite the fact that over 40% of adults have received both doses of their vaccine, the First Minister said we must "err on the side of caution" to deal with the new, faster-spreading variant.

Cases across the country, including Glasgow, have been increasing with 641 new covid cases reported on Monday, with 122 people in hospital on Sunday with recently confirmed covid including 12 people in intensive care.
