And the number of patients getting treatment for confirmed or suspected cases of the virus in hospital stands at 616 - with 12 currently in intensive care.

Scotland has now entered Phase Three of the coronavirus lockdown with a raft of new changes in place.

Shopping centres opened yesterday for the first time since lockdown.

The indoor hospitality sector is expected to see a further easing of restrictions from tomorrow.
