Scotland's Chief Medical Officer Catherine Calderwood tells the first minister's media conference that she was quoted as saying yesterday that there were between 40,000 and 50,000 in Scotland with the coronavirus.

"While it is dangerous to go day by day, I want to really emphasise that I would now be estimating that there are more than 65,000 people in Scotland infected," she said.

The first minister says this is the first weekend we will be in lockdown but it won't be the last.

She says everyone needs to continue self-isolation to ensure we have the best chance of tackling the outbreak.

"The collective national endeavour is helping to slow down the spread of this virus, protect the NHS and save lives," she says.

The first minister says the Scottish government is trying to do everything it can for businesses.

She says there are concerns that self-employed people will have to wait until June to get the support announced by the UK government yesterday.

"We hope they will speed up that support if possible, although I do recognise the scale of what they are trying to do," she says.

Ms Sturgeon announces £3.8m extra funding for NHS mental health support services.

She says people should look at the NHS inform website for details or helplines and services.

The first minister says she knows it is tough for young people to be stuck in the house but she asks them to stick with it and find new fun things to do to amuse themselves.

She also says they should phone their grandparents.

"I'm sure they would really appreciate it," she says.

The first minister says the police were being put under pressure by the pandemic and were doing an exceptional job.

They now have new powers to enforce the lockdown rules.

Ms Sturgeon says: "My fervent hope and belief is that the police will not have to enforce these rules very often."

Nicola Sturgeon praises NHS staff and says the show of solidarity with workers was much appreciated.

But she says the best way to support the NHS is to stay at home and self-isolate.

She says this is the first weekend since lockdown and people would be itching to get out.

"It is vital all of us stick with this," she said.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon tells her daily media conference there have been 1,059 case of coronavirus in Scotland - up 165 since yesterday.

There were 72 Covid case in intensive care, she said.

There have been a further eight deaths - that takes the total to 33 in Scotland.

Boris Johnson says he's self-isolating in Downing Street, as that's "entirely the right thing to do".

Scotland's national resilience centre - based on the Crichton campus in Dumfries - has said it will be working to learn as much as it possibly can from the coronavirus outbreak.

Business development manager Ailsa Mackay said the focus was now on "getting the job done" but centre staff would be ready for when that changed.

"Recovery of communities and local economies will become a priority for our nation and the NCR will seek to help emergency responders find practical solutions to the challenges this will bring," she said.

"In the meantime, we will do whatever we can to support those in frontline services who are keeping the country running in unprecedented times."

Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon will hold a media briefing on coronavirus (COVID-19) at 12.30.

She will be joined by Chief Medical Officer Catherine Calderwood and Health SecretaryJeane Freeman.

There will be live updates here and you can watch the briefing on the live page or on a special programme on BBC One Scotland, starting at 12.30.

Some self-employed workers can now apply for a grant worth 80% of their average monthly profits.

Alasdair Hutchison, policy development manager at the Association of Independent Professionals and the Self-Employed, told Mornings with Stephen Jardine this was welcome but the prospect of waiting until June for the payout was "tricky" for many people.

He said it was tough "to keep money coming in and outgoings down” for many self employed people during the current crisis.

Angus Council has called on support from parents and carers to ensure its childcare hubs are "used effectively".

The plea comes after lower numbers than expected of category 1 workers' children took up the available spaces in the 10 hubs across the region.

Schools and learning convener Derek Wann said: “It is somewhat frustrating that we have worked hard to find a childcare solution for essential workers who have no other childcare options, only to find that a number of people who applied and were allocated spaces did not send their children as anticipated."

NHS Highland has suspended all visiting across all of its health and social care sites to help shield vulnerable patients from the coronavirus. Health bosses say "these are not normal circumstances and it is with great reluctance that they have taken these steps to protect patients, their staff and the wider community". There will be exceptions to the rule which include a birth partner during childbirth and if a person needs to accompany a child in hospital, or for patients receiving end of life care.NHS Highland says: "For these exceptions, there must be agreement in advance from the nurse or midwife in charge of the ward or the care home manager."

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson says he will continue to lead the nation from home after testing positive for Covid-19.

"I've developed mild symptoms of the coronavirus, that's a temperature and a persistent cough," Mr Johnson said in a video posted on his Twitter account.

"On the advice of the chief medical officer, I have taken a test and that has come out positive.

"I'm working from home and self-isolating. That's entirely the right thing to do.

"I can continue, thanks to the wizardry of technology, to communicate with my top team and lead the national fightback against the virus."

The impact of the coronavirus is being felt across Scotland but in communities like Muirhouse in Edinburgh, one of the most deprived in the country, it’s having a deep impact.

Local group LIFT (Low Income Families Together) is normally a support and advocacy service but it is now distributing food to hundreds of vulnerable families, using donations and funds raised for trips that are now cancelled.

LIFT’s founder Pauline Bowie said: “It’s really busy. It’s doubled since we started. I don’t have a clue what I’m doing. We just thought, let’s get some shopping and everything will be fine. I don’t what we’ll do when we run out of food.”

A single mother, who’s self-isolating with her toddler son, told me: “We don’t have the Internet, so I can’t shop online. I don’t have the funds to get people to go shopping for me. If it wasn’t for them, I’d be absolutely stuffed.”

Police Scotland says personal protective equipment will be rolled out to frontline officers next week.

It is the latest in a series of measures to safeguard people and supplies during the coronavirus pandemic.

An appeal for volunteer delivery drivers in south west Scotland has resulted in an "amazing" response.

Third Sector Dumfries and Galloway said more than 800 people had signed up after it asked for assistance.

It is now working through the list to see where they can best be used and asked others to "hold off" from applying for now.

Chief executive Norma Austin Hart said: “The amazing offers of help demonstrate the community spirit across our fantastic region."
