The First Minister also revealed plans to create a temporary NHS hospital in the SEC in Glasgow.

She said: "I can confirm today following exploratory work over the last week and the weekend, we have taken the decision to start turning the Scottish Exhibition Centre in Glasgow into a temporary NHS hospital.

"If needed, we expect the hospital could become operational within a fortnight from now.

"Initially it could provide us with an additional 300 beds, but ultimately it could have capacity for more than 1,000 patients."
