The first minister says the country still has a 'very high level of infection' - but there are signs of it slowing down.
A further 5,810 positive cases of the virus were reported on Tuesday, accounting for 10.8% of all tests carried out in Scotland.
The first minister said average daily case numbers had gone up by 9% over the past week - but this was down significantly on the 70% increase seen the week before. A total of 95% of people over the age of 40 have been fully vaccinated, while the figure drops to 72% for 30 to 39-year-olds and 57% for 18 to 19-year-olds.
MSPs will vote on the plans on Thursday, and Ms Sturgeon said Scotland was "far from alone in considering such a scheme", with other countries having gone further.
