Nicola Sturgeon announces nationwide restrictions on people visiting other households across Scotland as part of measures to stem renewed spread of Covid-19.
"We are determined to keep schools open and young people in education," FM says, adding that plans are in place restart other NHS services, and keep business trading as normally "as is feasible."
New restrictions are "tough, yet more "targeted," FM says, and do not represent a "full scale lockdown."
FM reiterates message that "everyone who can work from home should work from home."
FM warns that if necessary SG will impose legal duty on employers to allow for home working.
SG will also introduce package of support for people who are asked to self-isolate. FM says the financial implications of self-isolation make things difficult, if not "impossible" for people, but emphasises the need for compliance to break chain of transmission.
Strict nationwide curfew will force pubs, bars and restaurants across Scotland to close at 10pm. The measure, which replicates that introduced in England, comes into force on Friday.
FM warns hospitality industry that further restrictions, including possible closure, may be necessary if there is non-compliance.
FM says ban on people visiting other households across Scotland addresses a "key driver of transmission." Measure to be introduced tomorrow, and is subject to review every three weeks.
