A carer has died from suspected coronavirus.
The woman worked for West Dunbartonshire Health and Social Care Partnership when she took ill and passed away.
She is believed to be the first carer in Scotland to lose her life to the virus.
Chief officer Beth Culshaw confirmed the sad news and paid tribute to the work of staff, the Daily Record reports.
She said: "It is with deepest sadness that we can confirm a member of our team passed away today.
"Our hearts go out to her family, friends and colleagues at this devastating time.
'Our dedicated staff are out in communities every day, delivering vital frontline services and working hard to support those most in need during this pandemic.
"We continue to follow all government and health guidance and are doing everything we can to protect, support and safeguard our workers, including by providing training and PPE."
Monica Lennon, Scottish Labour's health spokesman, paid tribute to "the unsung heroes of the coronavirus pandemic".
She added: "The death of a member of the social care family will be met with great sadness.
"Scotland-wide, it is worrying that absence levels among the social care workforce are soaring, as are fears about lack of personal protective equipment.
"The GMB Scotland membership survey of home carers should have been a wake-up call to the First Minister when I raised it with her in Parliament.
"Home carers in my region have been asked to use PPE sparingly due to scarce supplies.
"This is far from an isolated example and I have written to the First Minister today asking her to guarantee safe systems of work for all social care staff because lives are at stake."
Scottish Labour's Deputy Leader, Jackie Baillie, who is the MSP for Dumbarton, said: "In this time of crisis, we all owe a huge debt of gratitude to those heroic health and care workers who risk their lives daily to care for and treat those in need.
"This very sad news will come as a great blow to the family and to my local community. My thoughts are with them and I share in their grief.
"It is clear that access to protective clothing and equipment for health and social care staff is a problem across Scotland.
"Supplies are rationed because there is simply not enough and the strategy appears to be determined by that shortage of supply, rather than what health guidance dictates.
"This is simply not good enough and is putting lives at risk. The Scottish Government must act urgently to protect our brave frontline workers. It is our duty to do so."
