Nicola Sturgeon will deliver an update on the state of the Covid pandemic in Scotland later today.
The First Minister is scheduled to address MSPs at the Scottish Parliament this afternoon.
It comes as ministers have continued 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.
When will Nicola Sturgeon give her speech?
It is likely that Nicola Sturgeon will address MSPs at Holyrood from around 2.20pm this afternoon.
The First Minister tends to take around 20 minutes in her update the state of the pandemic in Scotland over the past week.
MSPs will then have around 40 minutes to cross examine the SNP leader’s statement.
