Nicola Sturgeon is set to give an update to the Scottish Parliament on the state of the covid pandemic in Scotland later today.
The First Minister will address members of parliament in a virtual sitting about what measures may be taken to halt the spread of the Omicron variant.
Cases of the deadly virus have shot up in recent days with the highest levels ever being recorded over the New Year period.
Sturgeon has been urged to change the self-isolation rules in Scotland from ten to seven days to get it in line with the rest of the United Kingdom.
During an interview on Tuesday, Deputy First Minister John Swinney hinted that Sturgeon could change the rules in her statement later today.
He said: "We're actively considering the issue of reducing the self isolation period.
"The First Minister confirmed that to p arliament in the virtual session on the 29th of December, and further details will be shared with parliament in its virtual session tomorrow.
"So yes, that issue is under consideration."
