Nicola Sturgeon announces no new coronavirus deaths in Scotland for 13th day in row but 22 new positive cases

There have been no new coronavirus deaths in Scotland for a 13th successive day - but confirmed cases are up by 22.

Latest figures from the Scottish Government show the country's COVID-19 death toll remains at 2,491.

There are 260 patients in hospital, which is a decrease of four on yesterday, with two in intensive care with confirmed coronavirus.

Nicola Sturgeon announced there's a potential cluster of 14 positive cases in the Greater Glasgow and Clyde Health Board are which is being investigated by the health board at the moment.

The latest National Records of Scotland figures show eight deaths were registered that mentioned COVID-19 on the death certificate, representing an increase of two deaths from the previous week.

This is the second lowest weekly total for deaths involving COVID-19 since the first death was recorded in early March.

The update comes ahead of a final decision on schools going back to full-time education being made tomorrow and announced by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon in parliament tomorrow.

If you think you may have the coronavirus, do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital. Call 111 if you need to speak to someone.
