Nicola Sturgeon will give a Covid update today in Parliament after a drop in recorded cases on Monday.
However, according to the Scottish government there was an IT issue which meant that Monday's figures were likely an underestimation, with the impacted data due to be included in Tuesday's reports.
In her briefing today, Nicola Sturgeon will provide the latest data on cases, hospitalisations, deaths and vaccines, as well as a general overview of the Covid situation in Scotland.
Nicola Sturgeon is not the only leader giving a Covid update today however, with Boris Johnson set to detail Westminster's plans for dealing with the Covid pandemic over the winter months.
It means that the first minister is likely to touch on Scotland's plans in her announcement, with health and therefore the management of the pandemic a devolved matter.
Here's what time Nicola Sturgeon is speaking today and how to watch...
What time is Nicola Sturgeon speaking today?
Nicola Sturgeon's speech on Covid in Scotland is the fourth item on the agenda in Parliament today, and therefore should take place between 2:15-3pm.
The specific time will depend on how quickly Holyrood moves through the first three items on the schedule.
The first minister is currently expected to speak around 2:20pm.
How can I watch Nicola Sturgeon's Covid update today?
As always, Nicola Sturgeon's Covid update will be streamed live on the Scottish government's social media pages and on Scottish Parliament TV.
Her statement will also be live tweeted by the SNP Twitter page, and broadcast on BBC Scotland from 2:15pm.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
