Ms Sturgeon says the "vast majority of people are making very serious efforts" to heed the advice on social distancing.

To the pubs which have remained open, she urges them to "do the right thing" and to shops not providing essential items.

Building sites and hair salons should close she adds.

The first minister confirms the government will publish additional guidance for businesses to make it clear what is being expected of them and how to make judgements on what is essential and what is not.

Ms Sturgeon says these figures, even as underestimates, show the scale of the challenge we face.

The first minister says the advice is not to be seen as optional, as if followed it will protect the NHS and reduce the number of people who have this virus.

"Life should not be carrying on as normal right now."

If it is you are not doing the right thing, she adds.
