Nicola Sturgeon will be taking questions from the Scottish Parliament today at 12.20pm, slightly earlier than her normal daily press conference.

FMQs are expected to last around two hours, and Ms Sturgeon will start with a Covid-19 update.

The First Minister has been fielding questions regarding the Nike Conference, that is thought to be “ground zero” for coronavirus, and she has faced criticism for information released at the time about the event.

Also thought to be raised at today’s FMQs will be Scotland’s border issues, as England starts to ease lockdown measures, currently the only country in the UK to do so.

The Scottish Government guidelines for the public in Scotland is to stay at home.
