The First Minister provided her regular COVID-19 update to Parliament on Tuesday.
She said that continuing to take basic precautions will help keep the virus under control while people return to normal life and that some baseline protective measures – such as COVID certification and the requirement to wear face coverings in certain settings – will remain in force for now.
She asked employers to consider the needs of people on the High Risk List in their plans for hybrid working and pointed towards specific guidance for people at highest risk.
The intention to publish an updated Strategic Framework on 22 February was also confirmed.
