Scotland's legal Covid-19 restrictions, including the wearing of face coverings, will end on 21 March.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said people would still be advised to wear masks in shops and on public transport.
And she confirmed that the government would continue to "strongly encourage" hybrid working, despite the concerns from businesses.
Framework
Addressing MSPs yesterday, the first minister said all legal restrictions on people and businesses will end as part of an effort to "return to a normal way of life".
The Covid certification scheme - vaccine passports which are required when attending large events including concerts and football matches - will come to an end sooner, on Monday 28 February.
The plan is part of a new strategic framework the government has drawn up for dealing with the pandemic in the future.
Ms Sturgeon said it would see Scotland move away from legal restrictions, relying instead on vaccines.
The move comes after Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that England's restrictions will be lifted on Thursday, with the requirement to self-isolate dropped and free mass testing to end in April.
Ms Sturgeon expressed frustration at Mr Johnson's approach, calling for clarity about how the testing system - which operates UK-wide - would operate in future.
Reaction
Responding to the new framework, Ryan Crighton, Policy Director at Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce, said: “The businesses which have survived the last two years bear the economic scars of Scotland’s fight against Covid-19. They need certainty, support and a platform to return to growth.
“This new framework outlines some welcome steps back towards normality and a shift from legal requirement to guidance. Allowing employers and individuals to take on responsibility as we enter the endemic phase of the virus is the only way forward, given that there is currently no budget in financial year 2022-23 for further business support.
“As Scotland learns to live with Covid, it is crucial that government and business work together to ensure that our economy doesn’t just survive, but thrives once more."
On hybrid working, he added: "While recognising ongoing public health issues, AGCC believes best chance of economic recovery for our city centres and business zones means workers should be back in office / workplace."
