Scotland's national clinical director said the Omicron variant wave was "diminishing" and does not expect the country to have to go into another full lockdown.
Jason Leitch spoke out at the BBC Radio Scotland as the nation awaits the lifting of temporary coronavirus restrictions on Monday. The change will see the end of social distancing requirements in pubs and restaurants, easing the pressure on the hospitality sector.
"I don't think we'll go back to full lockdowns - but I can't tell you for sure," said Leitch, reports the Daily Record.
