Ministers will be advised to take a “cautious approach” to lifting the remaining coronavirus restrictions in Scotland, the chief medical officer has said.
Professor Sir Gregor Smith said he is “keeping a close eye on” rising infection levels and hospital cases, although he said there is some early evidence the hospital admission rate is beginning to “top out”.
Scotland’s legal Covid-19 restrictions, including the requirement to wear face masks, are currently due to end on 21 March.
