Scotland's health secretary has warned that coronavirus cases will rise as a result of Monday's easing of restrictions.
Humza Yousaf said people should remember the pandemic "is not over".
From 9 August, social distancing will be dropped in most settings and children under 12 will no longer have to wear masks. Nightclubs will also be allowed to reopen.
The MSP said people should enjoy the new rules but remain careful.
