Nicola Sturgeon announces 7 deaths and 597 new coronavirus cases in last 24 hours.

The First Minister released the figures as she addressed the nation to lay out more details about Scotland's routemap out of lockdown.

A total of 440 people are being treated in hospital for the virus, with 42 in intensive care.

Since the start of the pandemic, 7,517 people have lost their lives to coronavirus in Scotland while 210,605 have tested positive.

It comes as Scots have been urged to continue sticking with the rules as the latest Public Health Scotland data shows case numbers of the rise once again.

Nicola Sturgeon warned that a further small spike may occur after primary school children went back to classrooms this week.
