Nicola Sturgeon is set to give her weekly Covid update in parliament today.
Final restrictions put in place in response to the Omicron variant sweeping across Scotland were removed on Monday, January 24.
In an update last week First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced that nightclubs would be able to reopen, and caps on indoor events and table service requirements where alcohol is served would be removed.
These measures were put in place in December, alongside a maximum capacity of 500 people for outdoor events. This was eased on January 22.
However, the requirements for face coverings and self-isolation will remain for the foreseeable future.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
