Alex Cole-Hamilton says quarantine checks for international travellers are only being followed up in 10% of cases.

The Lib Dem MSP adds tracers are unable to find a large number of those supposed to be in quarantine.

Ms Freeman argues her understanding is that Public Health Scotland officials are reaching the target of 20%.

The health secretary says if they cannot reach someone who should be quarantining the information is the passed on to Police Scotland for them to take what action they see fit.

Scottish Greens MSP Alison Johnstone brings up the issue of routine testing in schools and asks if this is under review.

Ms Freeman says that where they have introduced routine testing for NHS staff in hospitals, in long term care of the elderly and in cancer patients, that was introduced on the basis of clinical and scientific advice and it continues to be reviewed.

She says under review at the moment is whether to test all emergency admissions into hospitals.

In terms of schools, she says there is Test and Protect and surveillance work around schools and also all school staff can access testing if they are concerned they have been close to someone who may have the virus.

She says they will continue to look at whether more needs to be done on testing to see whether it can be used in other ways to keep schools open and young people learning.

Labour's Jackie Baillie pays tribute to GPs who have continued to offer services throughout the pandemic.

But she says some of her constituents have deteriorated under the current system of having to rely on online services and phone consultations.

She asks the health secretary when they might expect to see their doctor again in the flesh.

The health secretary says she appreciates that online technology is not a substitute for face-to-face consultations.

She says she has asked for this to be given greater focus and has been in talks with the British Medical Association about making this a reality while ensuring practices remain Covid-free environments.

Labour's Monica Lennon laments the slow pace of re-mobilising services for the NHS and says for some the drive to reintroduce services has been too slow.

She also highlights the concerns of health workers in her constituency and in NHS Lanarkshire about administering the seasonal flu vaccine.

Ms Lennon asks Jeane Freeman, with this in mind, how are they to administer a coronavirus vaccine when it comes?

Jeane Freeman concedes that: "She is right [Ms Lennon] there is no part of the NHS that is restarting as quickly as any of us want".

Ms Freeman tells Tory MSP Donald Cameron that 100% is an unrealistic target for testing but she continues to drive the number up.

She says: "We are seeing the positive impact of that testing in terms of the number of cases we are seeing in our care homes across the country."

She ends by telling Mr Cameron that in terms of easing the visiting restrictions, one of the criteria of a care homes being able to ease visiting restrictions, is that it is fully and actively participating in the care home staff testing programme.

Conservative MSP Donald Cameron raises concerns that testing of care home staff remains "unacceptably low".

Mr Cameron questions figures published today on testing.

He asks why are thousands of care home staff still not being tested despite promises that they were and what urgent action will she take to fix this?

Ms Freeman says it is unrealistic to expect 100% of care home staff to be tested due to leave and rota patterns.

She says the percentage they aim for is 70% or more.

The health secretary adds some staff refuse to be tested. She says she is working with CCP, Scottish care and Cosla to work through issues preventing staff from agreeing to be tested.

Ms Freeman adds that some staff did not want to be tested due to not being paid or only receiving statutory sick pay if they were asked to self-isolate.

There are calls for the UK government to introduce a 'furlough-style' scheme for shielding and high-risk workers who don't feel safe returning to their workplaces.

A group of charities are worried thousands will end up losing their jobs because they don't feel they can return to them safely.

Kate Seymour from Macmillan Cancer Support told Radio Scotland thousands of people who had been shielding "still feel that it's too early for them to return to work".

Ms Seymour warned people continue to feel really vulnerable in terms of their health and in terms of their employment as well.

"What we want to see is a package of measures that will address that."

She says these could include:

• ensuring employers are as flexible and supportive as possible
• ensuring employers recognise the legal responsibilities for returning staff
• a furlough like scheme
• making sure people get statutory sick pay they are entitled to

Treatment will be triaged on clinical need she promises.

A National Cancer Recovery Plan will be developed, she says, to be published in early Autumn.

The health secretary regrets she can't remobilise NHS services quicker but the pandemic prevents this.

Ms Freeman stresses the full range of pain services will resume as quickly as it is safe to do so.

A Covid-19 recovery framework for pain services will be published she pledges.

The health secretary warns that due to the pandemic we can expect a significant increase in the number of patients waiting for routine appointments and treatments.

Ms Freeman points out boards have been resuming services cautiously, but not at the same volumes.

She says this will reduce the numbers treated due to the safety requirements caused by coronavirus.

Up to 50% of operating throughput could be affected in the coming months, she says.

NHS Jubilee and NHS Louisa Jordan will be used to help address this, she adds.

However she warns: "This will have a significant impact on the time many patients will have to wait for treatment."

Ms Freeman says we must all be ready for the Covid vaccine we all hope for.

The health secretary says she fully reognises the impact of the pandemic on NHS and social care workers.

She says local hubs have been put in place to help staff relax, intensive provision of psychological support will continue and the national wellbeing hub has been set up.

The health secretary announces a Covid-19 supplement to the integrated workforce plan to ensure respite for staff who have got us to where we are now.

Ms Freeman highlights the new testing strategy published on Monday, which will help ensure the safe resumption and continuation of NHS services.

The health secretary says Scotland should have the ability to test 50,000 people daily by the end of August and 65,000 by winter.

She says the seasonal vaccination for flu is even more critical due to the pandemic, with the aim being to vaccinate just under 2.5 million people before the end of the year.

That's 840,000 more than last year and will include the addition to those already eligible of:

• care workers
• NHS workers
• household members of individuals who are shielding
• all those aged 55 years old and over

The health secretary says the government will then look to vaccinate 50 to 54 years old if vaccine numbers allow.

Doing this in three months safely will pose challenges, she warns.

Health Secretary Jeane Freeman is setting out how she wants to remobilise Scotland's health services.

Ms Freeman points out the NHS is not able to mobilise to the capacity it would wish.

She praises those who work in the NHS and accepts the pause in health services caused by the pandemic has led to other health issues.

This will be evident in mental health services as much as in other health services and also in those services to help those with alcohol and drug issues, she adds.

Health Secretary Jeane Freeman is making a statement about the remobilisation of Scotland's health services.

We will bring you all the developments as they happen.

At the moment the Scottish government says gyms should be allowed to reopen on September 14th - but gym owners themselves aren't happy.

Danny Stevenson owns Two Birds Fitness in Glasgow and he told Radio Scotland his boutique gym have had the safety measures in place for well over a month.

"As an independent gym owner we don't really feel there is any logic or evidence given to think that pubs or restaurants are safer space than gyms."

Mr Stevenson accepts there is increased respiration and sweating in a gym, but points out no-one shares the same equipment and everything is cleaned after use.

He points out: "With gyms opening down south there hasn't been any evidence of outbreaks.

"I don't think there is any evidence that gyms aren't a safe space.

Mr Stevenson hopes the date will be brought forward in the update on Scotland's lockdown measures from Nicola Sturgeon tomorrow.

• Which lockdown rules will change next - and when?

The Conservatives say the latest GDP figures for Scotland - which revealed that the country was officially in recession - confirmed the significant impact coronavirus was having.

Scottish Secretary Alister Jack said the UK government had put in place "unprecedented measures to support people, right across the country".

Here are the key points from the Scottish government's coronavirus briefing:

• the local lockdown in Aberdeen will be extended for another week

• A midweek review will be carried out on Sunday and the first minister said some restrictions could be eased next Wednesday
• Nicola Sturgeon announces a £1m support fund for Aberdeen businesses
• Scotland is officially in recession after GDP fall for the second quarter in a row

• Education Secretary John Swinney stresses there is "no evidence of virus transmission in Scotland's schools"

Libby Brooks from The Guardian says Scotland's children's commissioner is concerned young people are being blamed for the spread of the infection through house parties and asks if it is unfair to blame them for recent outbreaks.

Nicola Sturgeon says she disagrees with the idea that ministers are trying to scapegoat anybody.

She admits the impact of restrictions on young people is "at the top of the list" of things she worries about and it is why she is so determined to get schools open and keep them open.
