The coronavirus lockdown "must be extended" in Scotland and easing any restrictions would be "very, very risky", Nicola Sturgeon has announced.
Scotland's first minister said she would prefer all four UK nations to keep the same rules and only change them in tandem – after Boris Johnson revealed he wants to "get going" on plans to slightly reduce restrictions in England.
But she did say she is considering allowing people in Scotland to exercise outdoors more than once a day.
A further 59 people have died in Scotland with COVID-19 – taking the total to 1,762. Across the UK there have been more than 30,000 fatalities.
Ahead of an expected address by the prime minister to the nation on Sunday, Ms Sturgeon said she would "not be pressured into lifting restrictions prematurely" and risking a second peak.

"If the prime minister decides that he wants to move at a faster pace for England than I consider is right for Scotland that is of course his right," she told journalists at the daily briefing in Edinburgh.
"I will respect that and I will not criticise him for doing that."
More from Covid-19
Ms Sturgeon said what is known as the "R number" – the average number of people someone with the virus passes it on to – could be "hovering" around one, and she was not confident it is "comfortably below" that number yet.
She added dropping the "stay at home message" next week would be "potentially catastrophic mistake".
