Last updated 26th May 2022
Nicola Sturgeon is set to miss First Minister's questions today (Thursday May 26) admitting "Covid managed to really floor me".
The FM tested positive for the virus last Friday, entering isolation.
Since then she's been uncharacteristically quiet on social media - even throughout yesterday as she set the record as longest standing First Minister.
Deputy First Minister John Swinney will now face questions from MSP's in the Chamber.
Sturgeon says she will continued to rest at home for the rest of the week.
Posting to Twitter the FM said:
"Today John Swinney will stand in for me at FMQs.
"I'm starting to feel a bit better, but still not very well - Covid managed to really floor me unfortunately.
"I’ll hopefully be back fully fit after taking rest of week at home to recover. Thanks again for all the good wishes."
