Nicola Sturgeon is set to make an announcement in the Scottish Parliament later today about the covid situation across the country.
The First Minister will address MSPs about the current surge in cases of the deadly virus.
Scotland has seen rising cases since lockdown restrictions were virtually scrapped on August 9.
Over the weekend the number of people in hospitals across Scotland reached 1000.
It comes as covid vaccine passports are set to be introduced next month on October 1.
MSPs voted in parliament last week to launch proof of double vaccination, however all opposition parties were against the plan.
People attending a nightclub or other adult entertainment venues will have to show their passport, while proof will also be needed for outdoor events of over 10,000, unseated indoor live events with more than 500 people and at unseated outdoor events with more than 4,000 people.
