Nicola Sturgeon to give Covid Scotland update today – what time and how to watch

Nicola Sturgeon will give a Covid update to Parliament today – just one day after her media briefing on the new Omicron variant. 

Yesterday the first minister was joined by chief medical officer Dr Gregor Smith to provide an update on the new Omicron variant in Scotland. 

As of Tuesday morning, 9 cases of the new variant had been identified in Scotland, with some of the cases thought to be through community transmission. 

On Monday, the first minister urged the people of Scotland to increase their level of compliance with the current regulations in place – the wearing of face coverings, getting vaccinated, taking regular later flows, maintaining good ventilation and hygiene. 

She also said that it would take some time to understand this variant and that the government would respond appropriately as the situation develops. 

Today she will provide a further update to MSPs, including the daily Covid figures and any developments in the current Omicron situation.
