| Good afternoon, Nicola Sturgeon has been urged to release the data which prompted her to lift the quarantine restrictions on Spain amid reports the country has seen a rise in infection rates. Spain has been added to a list of destinations which have "air bridges" with Scotland meaning travellers arriving here don't have to quarantine for 14 days to suppress the spread of Coronavirus. Ms Sturgeon has said it was due to a fall in the "prevalence" of the virus in Spain. The restrictions are due to be lifted on Thursday. But there are emerging reports which suggest Spain’s infection rates is now three times higher than it was when the Scottish Government initially refused to add the country to a list of air bridges.
