The reopening of Scotland's economy - including shops, bars, restaurants, gyms and hairdressers - is expected to start in the last week of April, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has announced.

She said there would be a "progressive easing" of restrictions before then, with four people from two households allowed to meet outdoors from 15 March.

It is hoped to lift the stay at home restriction on 5 April.

Ms Sturgeon said the aim in Scotland was to move fully back to a levels system of restrictions from the last week in April.

More detail will be set out in mid-March, including the order in which parts of the economy will reopen.
