What's next for Scotland's regions?

Areas currently under the most severe (Tier 4) restrictions will see the rules eased this week.

As we all know, Scotland’s five-tier local lockdown system continues, but the First Minister has hinted at significant changes at the next review of restrictions.

This is what we expect could happen this week and the areas in focus.

Latest coronavirus figures

Scotland has recorded one death from coronavirus and 677 positive tests in the past 24 hours, Nicola Sturgeon said in today's briefing.

It brings the death toll under this measure – of people who first tested positive for the virus within the previous 28 days – to 3,917.
