SCOTLAND'S Covid bereaved are demanding First Minister Humza Yousaf answers key questions as he faces the UK Covid Inquiry today.
The First Minister was a cabinet secretary for justice and then health during the pandemic.
And today he will be grilled on key decisions the Scottish Government took to contain the virus - which claimed 16,465 lives in Scotland.
Yesterday, families of those who died in the outbreak demanded answers from Yousaf on vital decisions including the scandal of care home deaths, PPE in hospitals and the decision to keep HELEN LEE THOMAS schools open.
Yousaf was also urged to come clean on why government ministers and senior officials including the then-first minister Nicola Sturgeon - deleted WhatsApp messages.
Among those demanding answers today are the family of Thomas Lee, 82, who died of Covid in an Edinburgh nursing home in May 2020.
Daughter Helen, from Edinburgh, said: "There can be no secrets, nothing hidden, everything must be out in the open. Humza Yousaf has to be transparent for all the families who lost someone during the pandemic.
"He needs to be truthful and answer all questions put to him.
