Coronavirus in Scotland: Four more deaths confirmed as positive tests hit 499

There have now been a total of 14 coronavirus deaths in Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon has confirmed.

499 cases have also been confirmed, up 83 in the last 24 hours.

There are 59 cases in the Lothians, an increase of 13 since Sunday.

Elsewhere, there are 152 cases in Glasgow, 19 in Fife, 47 in Tayside and 58 in Lanarkshire.

However, the first minister has warned this is likely to be an underestimation.

She has urged employers who cannot have their staff work at home to close.

This includes hair salons, she said.

All schools across Scotland are now closed completely, with only the children of key workers allowed to attend.
