The UK government is cracking down on misinformation about the coronavirus pandemic.

A rapid response unit within the Cabinet Office is working with social media firms to remove fake news and harmful content.

Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden said action was needed "to stem the spread of falsehoods and rumours, which could cost lives".

The specialist unit is dealing with as many as 10 incidents each day.

EasyJet has grounded its entire fleet of planes and said it cannot give a date for when they will restart.

The budget airline said it had made the move due to the "unprecedented travel restrictions" imposed by governments globally due to the virus pandemic.

It had already cancelled most flights but had been running rescue flights to repatriate Britons stranded abroad.

The Unite union says many construction workers in Scotland are still being asked by employers to come into work against government advice.

The Scottish government has said all construction projects should be put on hold during the lockdown, unless they are for NHS facilities.

The union's regional coordinating officer Stevie Dillon said it was "impossible" to maintain social distancing on a construction site, which was "putting lives at risk".

He told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland that many workers faced dismissal and losing their income if they did not go into work.

Mr Dillon said companies should "pay their workers and send them home".

A "stark" warning from Scotland's chief medical officer appears on some of the front pages as the public are advised the lockdown could last until June.

The Scottish government's appeal for NHS volunteers also makes headlines.

Kevin Bridges has said he will continue to write material during the coronavirus lockdown.

He told the PA news agency: "I'm working on a new tour with new material so I will be back to writing, I'll be sitting in the house thinking of jokes."

The Scottish comedian urged people to consider donating to charities if they can afford to as many organisations will be struggling.

He added: "It's a really sad time but I hope we can get through it and get back to normal.

"I think people will appreciate life a bit more and focus on the bigger things and appreciate just being in the pub or going to a park or a comedy club, things you take for granted."

The boss of the UK's largest regional airline has said his firm plans to ask for government help to get through the coronavirus pandemic.

Loganair has had to ground half of its fleet and dramatically slash its flying schedule, putting its entire operation in jeopardy.

Jonathan Hinkles told the BBC that any airline saying it could survive without government help "would probably be lying".

He warned that the connectivity of remote Scottish islands and rural communities across the UK "cannot be maintained without air services", arguing that government support for his airline was "essential".

Children are being urged to draw pictures and write letters to care home residents to help them feel connected during the coronavirus pandemic.

Scotmid Cooperative came up with the Sharing Smiles project after many care homes and support facilities around the country went into lockdown, leaving residents unable to spend time with family and friends.

The letters and drawings will be shared with care providers to be distributed among residents to help them feel connected to the community.

Scotmid said it has been overwhelmed by the response since it launched the initiative via its social media channels.
