Scotland is at a "fragile and potentially pivotal moment", says Nicola Sturgeon who has once again refused to rule out the imposition of another lockdown due to rising 'cases'.

On the day that restrictions have been partially eased in Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon says she cannot rule out plunging the country into further lockdowns in the future because "we’ve got to be careful and realistic".

Nicola Sturgeon says the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation could update its advice on the vaccination of children "in days" and hopes the roll-out will be extended to 16 and 17 year-olds.

Nicola Sturgeon says that Scottish lockdown restrictions will likely be maintained for a further three weeks from June 28th (when restrictions were supposed to be eased) so as to "buy time" to fully vaccinate more Scots.

Nicola Sturgeon says Scottish children will be vaccinated "as quickly as possible" if the JCVI approves the vaccination of children aged 12 and over. Planning for a child vaccine roll-out has started already.

Nicola Sturgeon has warned that restrictions on international travel should not be lifted too soon because of the "big risk" of importing Covid variants into the UK.

There is “every reason for optimism” in Scotland because of its vaccine rollout, according to Nicola Sturgeon, as the next step of the country’s exit from lockdown has been brought forward.

Nicola Sturgeon acted outside of her constitutional powers by closing churches, a Scottish court heard today. Ministers believe that the Government should not have challenged the manner in which beliefs are expressed.

From Friday, private garden parties and picnics in parks – with up to four people from two households – will be permitted in Scotland, under an "accelerated" easing of the country's lockdown before Easter.
