Prof Linda Bauld says there are still high levels of infection due to the BA.2 Omicron variant.
A leading public health expert has urged people to keep following Covid-19 advice over the busy Easter weekend.
Family gatherings, a rise in church attendance and events including the Musselburgh races are expected to contribute to higher social interaction across Scotland. However, Prof Bauld said despite the encouraging figures, infection levels were still high due to the highly transmissible BA.2 variant. "They're unlikely to become severely unwell but I think in time when we've lifted basically all the protective measures and it's down to people's decisions, we still just need to be aware of that."
On Monday, the legal requirement to wear face masks in many indoor settings in Scotland will become guidance.The move had been delayed twice amid record levels of Covid cases and high numbers of people in hospital with the virus.
