Sturgeon is set to announce whether Scotland’s vaccine passport system will be expanded to cover more venues despite massive criticism by business bodies.
The SNP government has said that widening existing restrictions could be the only alternative to a new lockdown if Covid-19 cases rise during the winter period.
But some business groups and opposition parties have argued against the move.
The first minister will agree a decision with her cabinet on Tuesday morning, before announcing it to MSPs at Holyrood in the afternoon.
If agreed, the vaccine certification scheme would be extended to cinemas, theatres and other as yet unspecified hospitality venues from 6 December.
Sturgeon previously told MSPs that exactly which businesses could be affected would be decided “on the basis of the data and the evidence”.
Since October, people in Scotland have been required to show proof of vaccination to enter nightclubs and large events like concertsand football matches.
She is also considering other forms of measures such as insisting on working from home.
