It comes as Nicola Sturgeon is set to deliver her weekly Covid update to MSPs this afternoon.

Scots may learn more about the Scottish Government’s future strategy in living with Covid, as ministers continue to talk up the benefits of home working after the rules on working in the office were relaxed yesterday.

Opposition parties have called for the Scottish Government to encourage workers to get back into the office amid fears of the long term damage being done to Scotland’s city centre economies.

During the address, the First Minister will also provide an update on the vaccine rollout as NHS Scotland continues to work its way through the booster programme.
