The number of deaths linked to coronavirus in Scotland is now into triple figures
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, in her daily briefing, confirmed that 126 people have now died - up 50 on yesterday
She explained that the big jump in numbers was due to a recalculation of the figures
Of the 50 newly recorded deaths, 10 were based on a confirmed lab test which was in keeping with the way daily figures had been reported
Ms Sturgeon said the other 40 were cases not previously notified "due to delays in family liaison"
The number of infections globally will reach a million within days, the head of the World Health Organization says
In the UK, nearly 950,000 people have applied for Universal Credit benefits in the past fortnight
Schools are likely to be closed until August in a bid to tackle the spread of Covid-19.
Teachers have provided learning packs and online activities for students and many parents will want to help.
So what should parents be doing?

The Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) said reliefs and grants on offer do not cover its members' visitor centres, as they do not fit within the definition of "leisure, retail and hospitality".
An SWA spokesman said: "The sweeping support measures set out by the UK and Scottish governments are welcome and offer important reassurance to business... (but) more targeted support would benefit Scotch whisky producers, especially small distillers and those who also run visitor centres, shops and cafes which have had to close."

What impact has the coronavirus outbreak had on the island and its 200 inhabitants?
Former Scottish rugby captain Rob Wainwright has lived on Coll for the past 21 years with his wife and four children.
He says the island is "a great place to be" - but that its location would pose problems if anyone developed an acute case of coronavirus.
Ms Hyslop says she acknowledges the huge impact that the coronavirus pandemic has had on Scottish businesses.
Business network Scottish Chambers has called the crisis a "catatrophe", with.40% of businesses reporting a 90-100% drop in revenue, external, according to the organisation
"We agree this is an economic crisis caused by a public health crisis," Ms Hyslop told BBC Scotland.
Image source, Getty ImagesThe minister said the number one priority was the public health response, but said her job was to talk to industries and businesses and help protect them.
"It's very serious indeed so we have to try to protect what we have just now, mitigate the impact and then build for recovery," she said.
The top priority was to keep cash flowing through businesses until UK government support such as wage subsidies kicks in later in the year, Ms Hyslop added.
Image source, SECFiona Hyslop, the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Fair Work and Culture, says many of those who were involved in the planning of the climate change conference in November are now focused on fighting the coronavirus outbreak.
It was announced on Wednesday that the climate summit in Glasgow will be delayed until next year because of the disruption caused by the coronavirus.
Ms Hyslop said people would need to travel from across the world for the conference and many countries could be at different stages in the disease cycle - even if the worst was over in the UK.
"The whole point about having COP is about effective decision-making and we want countries to be in the best place to make effective decisions to tackle climate change," she said.
Mr Fairlie said many prison officers were not available to work because they were off sick or in self-isolation.
"The impact on staff numbers has been absolutely enormous,” he told Good Morning Scotland.
Mr Fairlie said the introduction of early release for prisoners, as has been adopted by many other countries around the world, would be a big step forward.
“It will create the opportunity to do social distancing a lot better. It will allow us to consider single cell accomodation for the whole of the prisoner groups - that in itself would be a really welcome step in terms of controlling the virus.”
Image source, Getty ImagesConcerns have been raised by Holyrood’s Justice Committee on the protective measures being taken in prisons to stop the spread of coronavirus.
The national chairman of the Prison Officers Association in Scotland, Phil Fairlie, said it was very difficult to apply guidance on social distancing in a prison.
He told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland: "When the public hear that advice and are asked to adhere to that in their communities, they find that challenging enough.
"I think when you try to introduce that into a prison setting in terms of the environment we're in and the close quarters contact that goes on in the prison, it's very difficult."
Mr Fairlie said many prisons in Scotland were also waiting for deliveries of hand sanitiser.
He also appealed for more testing to be carried out on prison officers. He said this would make a big difference to staff availability.
Moray Council has confirmed plans have been put in place to use an old aircraft hangar at Kinloss as a temporary mortuary during the outbreak.
The space, which used to house Nimrod spy planes, would only be used in the "worst case" senario if there are a large number deaths in the local area.
The council hopes existing capacity will be sufficient and has urged people to adhere to the lockdown guidelines to stem the spread of Covid-19.
The hangar is no longer used by the maritime patrol aircraft operating from the base.

This week other key workers are being included, like shop workers, delivery and postal staff, teachers, cleaners and refuse collectors. The even is taking place at 20:00.
The National Piping Centre said bagpipers should also step outside and play Scotland the Brave - but keeping a safe distance from anyone else.

Regional airline Loganair has converted one of its Twin Otter aircraft so it can fly patients suffering from Covid-19 in the islands to specialist hospitals on the mainland.
The aircraft carry Epishuttle isolation pods which are completely enclosed to protect the air crew and accompanying medics from catching the virus.
Loganair is also adpating one of its large Saab 340 planes into a temporary air ambulance which will be able to carry two of these isolation pods.
The newspapers report shortcomings in the current Covid-19 testing programme in the UK.
There is particular concern about the lack of testing for health service workers.
Pressure is also being put on the banks, it is reported, to improve the support they give to businesses struggling during the coronavirus crisis.
Rev Julia Meason goes under the duvet to record her sermon
Coronavirus restrictions on movement means churches in Orkney, like congregations all over Scotland, are closed.
So BBC Radio Orkney is broadcasting a special “Radio Church” programme at 15:00 on Sunday afternoons.
But the ministers leading the worship can’t go into the studios at Castle Street in Kirkwall to record the programme.
So all the prayers, readings and even the talk have to be recorded on smart phones and emailed in.
This week’s contributors, Rev Julia Meason from the East Church (Church of Scotland) in Kirkwall and John Clancy from Life Church Orkney have been under their duvets (separately!) after being advised that’s the best way to cut down on unwanted background noise

Glasgow City Council leader Susan Aitken said the decision to postpone the COP26 UN Climate Change Conference was correct in the circumstances.
"It is absolutely the right decision to postpone COP26 as the world is in the midst of fighting the COVID19 pandemic," she said.
“We will continue to work with partners to be ready to host a successful climate change conference and look forward to welcoming delegates to Glasgow next year.
