Nicola Sturgeon announces no coronavirus deaths overnight and 414 new cases

There has been no coronavirus deaths and 414 new cases in the last 24 hours.

Nicola Sturgeon confirmed the figures during a Government briefing meaning the death toll since last March – of people who first tested positive for the virus within the previous 28 days – stands at 10,109.

The total number of positive cases since the pandemic hit stands at 231,282.

The figures come as vaccinated Scots are now able to provide evidence of their coronavirus jab ahead of any trips abroad.

The NHS Scotland website is allowing people to download or print proof that they have received either their first dose or both doses of the Covid jab.

Certification can be used for when holidaymakers travel out to countries where a so-called vaccine passport is needed.

The document will show your name, date of birth and a receipt of when the Covid jab was administered in Scotland.

Nicola Sturgeon urged Glasgow Southside residents to get a Covid test after warning them about a 'significant outbreak' in the area.

It follows early studies from a number of Covid test events in England have shown “encouraging” results, it has been reported.

The UK Government gave the green light to a series of events with big crowds in attendance over the past month.

These included fans returning to the World Snooker Championship in Sheffield and FA Cup matches at Wembley Stadium.

Thousands of people were invited to each of the events with social distancing measures in place.
