Nicola Sturgeon has suggested she won't move quickly towards a new independence referendum - saying that "COVID comes first".
Scotland's First Minister said the country had a "difficult few months ahead" and only when "out of the crisis", should Scotland vote again.
That message was delivered in a call with Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Sunday,.
Her spokesman said: "The first minister made clear that her immediate focus was on steering the country through COVID and into recovery, and that a newly elected Scottish government would work with the UK government as far as possible on that aim.
"The first minister also reiterated her intention to ensure that the people of Scotland can choose our own future when the crisis is over, and made clear that the question of a referendum is now a matter of when, not if."
