Nicola Sturgeon is set to give an update on the state of the coronavirus in Scotland later today.
The First Minister will address MSPs in the Scottish Parliament on any potential new restrictions that could be implemented due to fears over the spread of the Omicron variant.
New guidance was issued at the end of last week for hospitality and retail outlets, while Scots were urged to curb their social mixing due to the risk of contracting and spreading the virus.
The Scottish Government has been given more money by the UK Treasury to help deal with the pandemic.
Sturgeon had been demanding additional funding for the hospitality industry which would allow her to impose stricter restrictions on social gatherings in Scotland.
On Sunday evening the Treasury announced it was doubling the covid funding to £440 million on top of their Autumn Budget 2021 funding.
Here's all you need to know about the statement:
