Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross has revealed he has tested positive for coronavirus.
The MP for Moray and MSP for the Highlands and Islands region was due on the campaign trail in Peebles today ahead of the council elections next month, however the trip has now been cancelled.
As a result of contracting the virus Ross has now cancelled all events this week as he is permitted to self-isolate.
In a statement Ross said: "Unfortunately, I’ve had to cancel events this week as I’ve tested positive for Covid.
"I’m looking forward to getting back out on the campaign trail soon to talk about how Scottish Conservative candidates will deliver local action on local issues."
Last week Deputy First Minister John Swinney announced he had tested positive for the virus, while Justice Secretary Keith Brown also contracted the virus.
It comes as Scots will no longer have to wear a face covering in places of worship or while attending a marriage ceremony, a civil partnership registration, a funeral service or commemorative event.
The new measures come into place from today.
They are part of a "phased" relaxation of the remaining covid rules, which still include a legal requirement to wear face masks on public transport.
The wider legal requirement for wearing face masks - which applies to shops, public transport and some other indoor settings - will be converted to guidance on April 18.
Nicola Sturgeon stressed the Government will "continue to encourage the wearing of face coverings in certain indoor places, especially where significant numbers of people are present".
Before the weekend, coronavirus hospital cases in Scotland were still at more than 2,000.
On Thursday, there were 2,383 people in hospital with recently confirmed Covid-19, a record high.
That same day, 41 coronavirus-linked deaths and 6,935 new cases of Covid-19 were recorded.
