COVID restrictions in Glasgow are to be eased from tomorrow.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon unveiled new changes earlier this week as part of Scotland's roadmap out of the current lockdown.
Although the new changes have been described as "relatively minor", Ms Sturgeon said they are important for society's wellbeing.
She added that if the data shows positive cases continue to decline, the Scottish Government will “not hesitate” to bring more changes forward.

Outdoor meetings
From tomorrow, groups of up to four people from two households will be able to meet-up outdoors.
At this stage, indoor meetings of other households is still, however, forbidden under Covid laws.
Sport
Non-contact sports will be open to all adults of up to 15 people from tomorrow. This means outdoor classes will be able to go ahead.
Places of worship
"Assuming no deterioration" of the situation with the virus, communal worship will be allowed to resume from March 26 under capacity.
The limit for religious services will rise from 20 people to 50 people.
Ms Sturgeon warned timing of easing restrictions was imperative to ensure the vaccine rollout was given the opportunity to get ahead of the virus as it was earlier confirmed the new variant identified before Christmas counts for 90 per cent of positive cases.
An update on the 'stay at home' message is expected on April 5.
