Scotland is well and truly into phase three of the route map for easing the lockdown, external.

We've seen a raft of changes this month and tomorrow will see some more.

Beauticians and nail salons will be able to reopen with enhanced hygiene measures.

Universities and colleges will be able to introduce a phased return to on-campus learning, as part of a blended model with remote teaching, from the same date.

Live drive-in events will also be able to take place from tomorrow, which means a potential return of live concerts, comedy nights, theatre productions and bingo.

This comes a week after drive-in cinemas were allowed to restart.

Can you remember all the changes in phase three of lockdown? If not check them all out here.

Nicola Sturgeon confirmed earlier that there were no deaths registered in the past 24 hours of people who tested positive, meaning the total remains at 2,491.

Meanwhile there were no new coronavirus deaths have been recorded in Wales for the fourth day in a row.

• Iran has recorded its highest daily death toll - 229
• President Trump has suggested it is patriotic to wear a mask, in a further move away from his previous stance on the issue

NHS medical and dental workers in Scotland are to receive a 2.8% pay rise.

GPs and general dental practitioners will also get the increase, which will be backdated to 1 April.

Nurses are not included in the deal because they negotiated a separate three-year package worth 9% in 2018.

The Scottish government said the deal reflected how "the continued hard work and dedication of staff makes our NHS the treasured institution it is".

It comes after the UK government announced almost 900,000 public sector workers will get rises of up to 3.1%.

The majority of new coronavirus cases in Scotland are in Lanarkshire following an outbreak at a local call centre, Nicola Sturgeon has said.

She told her daily briefing that there had been 22 fresh positive results - 14 were in Lanarkshire.

The first minister said "at least some of them" were connected to the Sitel call centre which was carrying out Test and Trace for NHS England.

A Scottish government resilience meeting will be held later.

• A further 22 cases of Covid-19 are confirmed – with the majority being in Lanarkshire
• At least some of the cases are likely to be linked to the Sitel call centre outbreak in Motherwell, says Nicola Sturgeon
• The first minister will chair the resilience committee this afternoon and the incident management team will also meet as further actions are considered
• No deaths were registered in the past 24 hours of people who tested positive, meaning the total remains at 2,491
• A support line for health and social care workers is launched: 0800 111 4191
• The education secretary confirms he will update MSP on schools reopening on Thursday with a final decision being taken by 30 July
• Covid-19 testing to be extended to children under the age of five

Mure Dickie, from the Financial Times, wonders if there are any indications that any of the recent cases of coronavirus recorded are stemming from people travelling to Scotland from elsewhere.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon replies that: "I have no information at the moment that would lead me to think that is the case, but I would put a very heavy caveat on that.

"The explanation and examination of these cases is still under way and I would prefer to keep an open mind about any potential sources of transmission."

Asked where the Scottish government thinks the virus got into the Sitel call centre, causing a cluster there, Ms Sturgeon says she hopes to gather further information shortly about that.

Deputy First Minister John Swinney adds that work is being done to establish how the virus spread in the call centre.

Gina Davidson from The Scotsman asks about concerns over social distancing in secondary schools and on school transport.

Last week a report, external from the government's advisory sub-group on education said the "balance of evidence" suggested that physical distancing requirements imposed elsewhere in society would not be necessary between school pupils.

However Mr Swinney replies that the advice received from education experts was less emphatic about secondary school students than it was about primary school students.

The education secretary says in terms of secondary schools, there are still issues that need to be wrestled with and there will need to be measures put in place.

These will be revealed in the forthcoming guidance, he says.

Katrine Bussey, from PA, asks how concerned the first minister is about media reports over the cluster of cases at Sitel NHS call centre in Motherwell, suggesting that employees were not adhering to social distancing requirements.

Nicola Sturgeon replies that, although the case numbers over recent days have been higher, "we have over some of those days been doing significantly more testing".

She points out that much of that testing is the regular tests being carried out in care homes.

Ms Sturgeon says the positive cases are "still at a relatively low level" and adds "under 1% of people tested are testing positive".

She points out that the call centre had been carrying out work for NHS England and that the Scottish government would be reinforcing its message with the employer and contractor.

Dr Gregor Smith is asked to respond to an Edinburgh dentist warning on Radio Forth that hundreds of cases of mouth cancer may be going undetected in Scotland because of disruption to dental care services.

The interim chief medical officer points out that some dental services opened up last week, although there remains restrictions on aerosol generating services.

He stresses that the issue of mouth cancer, while "often picked up during routine examinations by dentists...is not the exclusive remit of dentists".

Dr Smith points out that it is a condition that particularly affects males, especially older ones and adds: "I would encourage people with any sores or ulcers in their mouth that aren't healing over time, whether on the cheeks or tongue, to explore it further with either your dental practitioner or your GP."

Callum Clark, from Bauer, points out that Edinburgh Airport has written a joint letter along with the Unite trades union to the first minister warning that 2,000 of the 7,000 jobs there could go as a result of the pandemic.

He wonders whether there has been any dialogue with them since then and what message she has for staff there.

Nicola Sturgeon says that last week's letter "will be responded to fully" and says: "Aviation is one sector of many that is under severe pressure because of the pandemic.

"I am very mindful of that in the decisions we take and you can see that in the care we have taken over decisions, such as over air bridges, but my primary focus right now is keeping this virus under control."

She says the implications of not doing that would be even more severe for the economy.

Deborah Haynes from Sky News turns to the Intelligence and Security Report into Russia which says there was evidence Russia tried to interfere in the Scottish independence referendum in 2014.

The UK government "actively avoided" looking for Russian interference during the EU and Scottish independence referendums, says a group of MPs.

The Intelligence and Security Committee's long-awaited report, external found the UK government "actively avoided" looking for Russian interference during the EU and Scottish independence referendums.

The first minister points out this is a Covid briefing and keeps her comments limited.

Ms Sturgeon does say we should not be complacent about Russian interference in our democracy.

She adds the main message from her initial reading of the report is “what I think could possibly be described as negligence on the part of the UK government in the face of potential Russian interference”.

Education Secretary John Swinney pledged a further update on the reopening of schools on Thursday at Holyrood.

Gordon Chree from STV asks what level of additional public concern there needs to be in Motherwell at this time and are any local restrictions on the agenda.

I’m not going to preempt this afternoon's decisions and discussions, points out Ms Sturgeon.

We’ll bring you news from the resilience committee meeting this afternoon as soon as we get it here on this live page.

In general terms the first minister says: " I want everyone across Scotland to be really vigilant.

She later adds: “Clearly in Lanarkshire there is a need to be extra vigilant."

Katie Hunter from BBC Scotland says the staff at the Sitel site have received a letter from NHS Lanarkshire saying even if they test negative for Covid and don’t have symptoms they must still complete 14 days self-isolation.

However Ms Hunter points out some staff are under the impression and have received correspondence saying that they could be asked to go back sooner and if they don’t they won’t be paid.

Will the building remain closed for 14 days?

Ms Sturgeon reiterates she will chair the resilience committee meeting this afternoon and points out the incident management team will also meet.

All appropriate and necessary steps will be taken, she insists and adds stopping the virus spreading and the wellbeing of staff will remain at the forefront of all actions to be taken.

Scotland's interim chief medical officer Dr Gregor Smith says that, from tomorrow, Covid-19 testing will be available for children under the age of five.

Since 18 May, testing has been available to everyone in Scotland who has symptoms and who is over that age but only in limited clinical situations for younger children.

Dr Smith explains that in coming months it will be important to know whether a child's symptoms are caused by Covid-19 or not and it is important to avoid households having to isolate for prolonged periods unnecessarily if the symptoms are not for the virus.

If a child has symptoms, they will have to self-isolate for seven days and members of the household for 14 days.

Deputy First Minister John Swinney says he will make a statement to the Scottish Parliament on Thursday "to provide clarity about the logistical preparations for school reopening".

He says this will include details of a surveillance programme, outbreak management protocols and quick access to testing for all symptomatic staff and pupils.

He says: "I am confident we will be able to support our children to return safely to education and to achieve this aim."
