It's a new dilemma facing shoppers as they try to follow the correct supermarket etiquette to prevent the spread of coronavirus... should you put an item back on the shelves after you've touched it?

For some, the only answer is to buy anything they touch - even if it isn't what they actually wanted.

For professional footballer Leanne Crichton, the coronavirus pandemic has led to a personal toll.

Her beloved gran Margaret died a few weeks ago. Although not confirmed, it was a presumed case of Covid-19.

It made the funeral difficult with social distancing even by the graveside.

In an audio dairy, recorded for BBC Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme, Leanne says the lockdown has brought her family closer together through the use of technology.

She isn’t able to train and play football but she is keeping fit through running and cycling.

“It’s important we do appreciate our loved ones and we try not to be too hard on ourselves and place unrealistic demands and that’s probably the most key thing that I’ve taken from it,” she says.

Cheers and applause could be heard across the country as Scotland displayed its appreciation once again for health care workers.

Police officers flashed their blue lights outside Edinburgh Castle on Thursday, while paramedics joined in the "Claps for Carers" outside the Inverclyde Royal Hospital.

Muslim families have also been encouraging each other to "pray for heroes" one week before the beginning of Ramadan.
