Scots Twitter reacted to Nicola Sturgeon's lockdown easing announcement today.
The latest tweets from @NicolaSturgeon. A SPECIALIST solicitor who uses her prolific social media activity to regularly slag off Nicola Sturgeon, her party and the Scottish Government generally, has likened the SNP to the Nazis. Janet Hood, who runs a training and consultancy business from Brechin in Angus, claims to be one of Scotland's top licensing solicitors with more than 30. 1 day ago NICOLA Sturgeon has been challenged to prove an SNP candidate's 'fanciful' boasts a border with England could create jobs in a separate Scotland.
This afternoon, the First Minister said that lockdown restrictions across Scotland should be 'significantly eased' by late April.
She revealed that non-essential shops, gyms, hospitality businesses and hairdressers could all reopen with social distancing measures in place if coronanvirus transmission continues to fall across the country.
The existing stay at home restriction will be lifted by April 5, with people being able to meet in larger groups outdoors, under the Scottish Government's latest routemap out of lockdown.
Scotland will move back to Level 3 of lockdown by the end of April, with some parts of the country possibly moving to lower tiers.

The FM took a slightly different approach to Boris Johnson, who effectively stated that on the 21st of June, there will be no more restrictions - something that Nicola Sturgeon said she cannot guarantee.
And Scots took to Twitter to react.

Scots Squad's Darren Connell said: 'Sorry if I'm not buzzing about the news today, I'm absolutely numb to it and just finished a fast early because what's the point?..with a cake obviously. Bedtime at 3pm, a new day tomorrow.'
Ru Paul's Drag Race star Lawrence Chaney said: 'THE END OF APRIL?!? jeeezzzzz.'
© Twitter Lawrence tweetedAnother Twitter user said: 'I don't know about anyone else but yesterday with an end date (although it may be changed) given I felt a bit optimistic. Today's announcement about Scotland's tier systems has absolutely scunnered me completely.'
While some praised the First Minister for her approach.
One said: 'Boris Johnson is setting people up for disappointment making promises of normal life when he cannot guarantee anything. I for one would rather Nicola Sturgeon didn't put dates on things for it to go wrong and for us to be disappointed again.'

While one added: 'I'd rather wait and then when she thinks it's time let us just get back to normal, no restrictions and never go back into lockdown again.' A1 from day 1.
