The latest stats come after First Minister Nicola Sturgeon revealed that the magnitude of Covid-19 is sometimes overwhelming.

During an interview with Jennifer Reoch and Des Clarke on Heart Scotland Drive on Wednesday night, the SNP leader said that the worry of coronavirus, as well as having family members working on the front line, often takes its toll on her mental health.

She said: "There are moments when, over the last few weeks, when I've got home at night and just felt a little bit overwhelmed by the magnitude of it, and I've shed a few tears over the course of the last few weeks.

"But it's really important - nobody wants me to be having a meltdown if I can avoid it - so I try to have these moments, not let them last too long, and pull myself together to get on with it."
