he Scottish test numbers for April 17 show a total of 36,637 people have been tested across the country.
Of these:
■ 29,228 tests were confirmed negative
■ 7,409 tests were positive
■ 837 patients who tested positive have died
■ 189 patients were in intensive care last night, with 184 of those having tested positive.
The news comes as Scotland's chief medical officer, Dr Gregor Smith, says the country's lockdown measures have flattened the rate of increase of COVID-19 within the community.
While the numbers of new cases were doubling every four to five days three weeks ago, Dr Smith says that doubling rate was now around 11 days.
He says the rate of transmission of the virus had been reduced by two thirds. While it used to be that every person who caught the virus spread it to three others, he believes the rate was now each person passing it on to one person.
