Although covid restrictions are ending, experts have warned Scots to remain cautious.
At present around one in 19 people are said to have covid according to findings from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) - based off of figures from the week February 20 to 26 2022.
This number equates to around 280,500 people.
Speaking about the easing of restrictions on BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme, National Clinical Director Professor Jason Leitch has said there is no reason for Scots to "panic" despite data suggesting cases are rising.
He added: "I'm not panicking - I'm not thinking we should suddenly go back to restrictions or protections, but I am concerned.
"As we mix more, the virus gets more opportunities, so we’ve got 10,000 cases a day, we’ve had a little bit of an increase in those in hospital – it’s not huge, so people shouldn’t panic, but this disease is not over and it’s not done with us."
But what rules are being ditches when it comes to covid?
Here's everything you need to know...
When are Scotland's covid restrictions ending?
The Scottish Government has said that most of Scotland's covid rules will end on March 21, 2022.
What covid restrictions are coming to an end this month?
As of March 21, people in Scotland will no longer need to wear face coverings however First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said people will still be advised to wear masks in shops and on public transport.
Businesses will also no longer need to collect customer details or require people to scan their NHS covid app on arrival however if individual businesses wish to continue this, they can and the app will remain operational.
In addition, people can now attend events such as concerts and football matches without the need to show proof of vaccination using the covid certificate scheme.
This has already come into force as of February 28.
Are there any covid restrictions staying after March 2022?
Yes - the need to self-isolate will remain after March 21.
Despite England dropping the need to quarantine, Scotland will not ditch this rule, with Ms Sturgeon stating that the government will continue to ask those who test positive for covid to isolate for the recommended period adding they will "continue to make self isolation support payments available to those who are eligible."
The reason for keeping this in place is because it can help limit the overall transmission of the virus and keep workplaces safe as well as protecting those most at risk of serious harm.
At the beginning of the pandemic, the message was that we had to try and "suppress the virus to the lowest possible level and keep it there" however this is now being changed to "manage covid effectively, primarily through adaptations and health."
Nicola Sturgeon explained that the change is possible because of "widespread vaccination coverage and better treatments which have reduced the direct harms of the virus.
"As a result, using restrictions to suppress infection is no longer as necessary as it once was. And given the wider harms caused by protective measures, it is no longer as justifiable either.
"The strategic framework therefore makes clear that in future we will rely less on legally imposed measures to control the virus - and more on vaccines, treatments, and sensible adaptations and good public health behaviours."
What is happening to covid testing in Scotland - will it remain free?
The FM announced that Scotland would move from mass population testing to a more targeted testing system.
She explained: "I will set out our commitment to continued access to PCR and lateral flow testing free of charge and our continued advice that those testing positive should isolate, while we transition to a system of testing that is more targeted but which retains adequate capacity to support surveillance; rapid response to the emergence of new variants; effective outbreak management; and access to the best care and treatment for those who need it.
"I want to give an assurance that the Scottish Government is determined to retain a robust testing system capable of providing Scotland with strong resilience against future covid threats, and firmly aligned with public health advice and the principles underpinning our National Health Service."
As of now, Sturgeon said that if you have covid symptoms you should continue to go for a PCR test which will remain free of charge.
Even if you don't have symptoms the advice still remains that people should be testing regularly.
