Coronavirus Scotland: 542 die from virus as confirmed cases reach 5590

542 people have now died from coronavirus  in  Scotland.

The number of confirmed cases has risen to 5590.

A total of 212 Scots are in intensive care receiving treatment, it has been confirmed.

Yesterday First Minister Nicola Sturgeon addressed the Easter weekend, urging Scots to continue to follow lockdown protocols.

She said: "I know how hard it is for people to do that, it will seem even harder over this Easter holiday weekend, especially for families with children and indeed for the children themselves and for older people who would normally be spending time with their grandchildren.

"Please stay in touch with family, friends and loved ones in whatever alternative way best works for you."
