The number of people in Scotland who have tested positive for coronavirus has risen by four.
It takes the total of people with the deadly virus up to 27.
Across the country, 2,234 tests have been conducted with 2,207 coming back as negative.
There are currently six cases in Grampian , two in Forth Valley, two in Fife, one in Tayside , one in Ayrshire & Arran, four in Greater Glasgow and Clyde, seven in Lothian, three in Lanarkshire and two in Shetland.
It comes after a sixth person died from the virus in the UK.
A statement from West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust said: "Sadly, we can confirm that a man who was being cared for at Watford General Hospital, and had tested positive for Covid-19, has died.
"The patient, who died in the evening of Monday March 9, was in his early 80s and had underlying health conditions.
"His family has been informed and our thoughts and condolences are with them at this difficult and distressing time."
Earlier today we reported that an oil worker in Aberdeen had tested positive for the virus.
The staff member, who works at Shell headquarters, has been discovered to have contracted Covid-19.
Bosses at the energy giant have told close colleagues to stay at home and contact NHS 24.
Fears have previously been raised about oil workers picking up the virus when travelling to the far east.
A Shell spokesperson said: “Shell’s priority is the safety and health of our people and the safe operations of all our businesses.
"We continue to monitor the situation closely and follow the advice of the relevant UK authorities.
"Currently, all Shell UK offices are open and we have a robust cleaning programme which is proportionate to the current risk level.
"However, we have business continuity plans in place to ensure the sustainability of our supply chain and our ability to meet the needs of our customers and partners if the situation develops further.”
