The BBC's Lucy Whyte asks Ms Sturgeon when it will be decided what level each area is in.

The first minister says the decisions and rationale for the decision will be set out over the course of next week.

She says she hopes Holyrood can approve the framework on Tuesday.

Decisions on what level each area will be in will be made in consultation with local authorities, clinical advisers and public health officials.

The "building blocks" for these decisions will be council areas - not health board areas.

Prof Bauld has been looking at the latest ONS infection survey, which includes Scottish-specific data for the first time and says it is very valuable.

She picks out data suggesting that just over 0.5% of people in Scotland had Covid in the last two weeks, or one in 180 people. Scotland's numbers are the same as Wales, while in Northern Ireland it is one in 100 and in England one in 130 people.

Linda Bauld, Professor of Public Health at Edinburgh University, gives her verdict on the new framework.

She tells BBC Scotland she was relieved to hear of the emphasis on keeping schools open and certain sectors of the economy.

She says even Level Zero, with modest measures such as the use of face coverings and social distancing, will be with us for a long time and certainly into next year.

The professor talks about the testing strategy, saying it is very welcome and that more capacity for NHS labs is interesting.

She also highlights the "symptomatic" testing and protecting the vulnerable through more routine testing in care homes and of NHS staff.

Ewan Petrie from STV asks whether the FM understands the public's confusion and frustration with the situation.

She says she does and she shares it.

"This is a global pandemic, and it's not just us feeling all of this... literally every country is going through something similar to this.

"The figures that I report are depressing... But we do think the sacrifices are making a difference [because] cases are slowing."

She attributed this to the ban on household visits, and said we should soon start to see the hospitality closures taking effect too.

Ms Sturgeon said it was important to be targeted and proportionate when applying restrictions.

"We shouldn't have, for example, the Highlands living under a level of restriction that is designed to deal with higher rates of the virus in the central belt."

Anyone who was shielding until the end of July is advised to follow the guidance provided to the general population.

But each level of restrictions will have additional guidance for those who were shielding on going to work, school, shopping, and contact with others.

They will be sent a letter from the chief medical officer today and additional guidance will be published today.

Practical help is available on the helpline: 0800 111 4000.

The nature of the pandemic means some restrictions on business are likely to be necessary, Ms Sturgeon says.

She has announced support for businesses on top of what's already been announced by the UK government.

Businesses required by law to close will be eligible for grants of either £2,000 or £3,000, depending on rateable value, for every four weeks they have to remain closed.

Businesses which can remain open but can’t trade normally due to restrictions will be eligible for £1,400 or £2,100 grants for every four weeks they are closed. Again, this will depend on their rateable value.

Nicola Sturgeon says she does not envisage returning to a lockdown as severe as March.

She says her objective "at all levels" is to keep schools open, with safety measures in place.

The first minister says that is in the best interest of all young people.

Nicola Sturgeon promises she will listen to the concerns of hospitality businesses.

She says she will also listen to suggested changes from stakeholders in the coming days and will meet with the other party leaders this afternoon.

She says she knows hospitality will want to argue for different types of premises to be open at different levels of intervention.

After a short consultation, the Scottish parliament will debate and vote on the framework on Tuesday.

Decisions will be made on levels for different parts of the country from 2 November and restrictions will be reviewed every two weeks.

Nicola Sturgeon has set out that Scotland will have five levels of restrictions.

Level Zero is the closest we can get to normality without a vaccine or treatment. This is similar to what restrictions were in place in August when the virus had been suppressed. You could meet indoors in limited numbers (eight people from three households) and most businesses would be allowed to open.

The FM says Level One is more like the restrictions we had in mid-September. Indoor meetings were reduced to six people from two households. But still a "reasonable degree of normality overall".

Level Two entails restrictions similar to those in place now outside the central belt - there are limitations on hospitality and there's no gathering allowed inside homes.

Level Three is similar to what is in place in the central belt right now. These tougher restrictions include much of hospitality being closed completely. However, restaurants should be able to open at least partially.

However, Level Four is closer to a full lockdown. It will be used at times when the pandemic is putting pressure on the health service and running the risk of the NHS being overwhelmed. It would include non-essential shops closing. But even under these restrictions, there will be no limit on outdoor exercise, and six people from two households will still be allowed to meet up outside. The FM adds that manufacturing and construction will be kept open too.

Nicola Sturgeon warns that hospital admissions, ITU admissions and deaths are likely to rise for some time.

But she says, looking at the recent data, there are signs the recent restrictions are working and there are signs of progress.

In the week leading up to Friday 9 October, the average number of new cases increased to 907, 52% up on the previous week.

In the week leading up to last Friday, 16 October, the average was 1,171, which was an increase of 29% on the previous week.

Today the increase was an average of 1,255 cases, up by 7%.

Ms Sturgeon says the provisional data indicates the breakdown of new cases is as follows:

NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde: 493

NHS Lanarkshire: 413

NHS Lothian: 169

NHS Ayrshire and Arran: 117

The remaining cases are spread across nine other health boards.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon confirms a further 1,401 people have tested positive for Covid-19, 20.6% of those newly tested yesterday. That is 8% of the total number of people tested.

This takes the total number of positive cases in Scotland to 54,016.

A further 18 people who tested positive for coronavirus have died, taking the total to 2,688 deaths in Scotland by that measure.

975 patients are in hospital with a confirmed case, 41 more than on Thursday.

76 are being treated in intensive care, up two.

About one person in 180 in Scotland had coronavirus between 3 to 16 October – about 0.57% of the population, according to the Office for NationalStatistics' Infection Survey, external.

For the first time, the ONS has released its estimates for Scotland on the true spread of the virus.

The survey has been carried out across a growing number of households in the UK since May.

The ONS selects a representative sample of the general population to be tested.

By testing thousands of people in households representative of the population, regardless of symptoms, it is the most accurate indicator of infection levels in the community.

The diagnostic testing programme, which provides daily totals, largely relies on people with symptoms coming forward.

Some people do not display symptoms when they are infected so the daily totals are an underestimate of the amount of infection that is around.

Nicola Sturgeon will begin her daily briefing shortly, with deputy chief medical officer Nicola Steedman alongside her.

She is set to outline how the new five-tier framework for restrictions will work.

How to watch and listen:

On BBC One Scotland the programme will have the main part of the daily briefing. It will have an interview with Linda Bauld, Professor of Public Health at Edinburgh University. Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross will also be on the programme.
