Nicola Sturgeon has warned Scots she can't yet offer a date for when lockdown restrictions will finally end.
The First Minister revealed Scotland's latest plan to ease restrictions yesterday but it was criticised for not looking beyond the end of April.
The UK Government's routemap out of lockdown for England claimed all social restrictions could end as early as June 21.
But Sturgeon said she would be “making it up” if she gave a specific date for the end of coronavirus restrictions.
Speaking at the coronavirus briefing in Edinburgh on Wednesday, the SNP leader questioned Johnson's June 21 date.
“If I was to give you a fixed, hard and fast date right now, I would pretty much be making it up and I don’t think that’s the approach I should take with you,” she said.
Under the Scottish plan, council areas will not return to level three of lockdown - when non-essential retail and hairdressers can reopen - until April 26.
Primary schools should have fully reopened by March 15 but high school pupils could be waiting until April before returning to the classroom.
Business leaders have condemned the routemap as lacking clarity.
Sturgeon continued: “I’m not ruling out any specific dates, I want it to be as soon as possible and we have every reason to be hopeful that come the summer life will be much, much, much better than it is just now, but when I stand here and give you what I think the actual date when all or most restrictions will come to an end is going to be, I want to be as sure as I can be that is real and it can be delivered.”
Sturgeon added: “I don’t just understand the frustrations that people have, I feel those frustrations.
“As has been the case all along, I’ll have to take decisions that sometimes you agree with and sometimes you disagree with, but I can assure you that the Scottish Government will continue to do our very best to lead the country as quickly but also as safely and sustainably through this horrible ordeal and out the other side of it.”
