More than 70 trespassing incidents have been recorded on Scotland’s railways since the country’s schools closed due to Covid-19.

Network Rail said one case, near Neilston, Renfrewshire, involved two adults and a child.

Another featured a group of teenagers trespassing on the line near Coatdyke, Coatbridge.

And trains near Hamilton West were delayed last week after three youths were spotted on the line.

Network Rail, which has launched a new awareness campaign, external, said the problem has increased across the country since 20 March.

The first minister highlighted that the reproduction rate of the coronavirus in Scotland was not at a low enough level to lift lockdown measures.

She said she was not confident restrictions could be eased "without the virus running amok again".

Ms Sturgeon said: "We know that it would not take much easing up for that progress to be halted."

On the subject of whether construction firms in Scotland would get back to work in line with others across the UK, the first minister said she was looking construction as well as retail.

However she said that any changes that occur too swiftly could result in damage that would be "deeper and even longer lasting".

The first minister has delivered a "direct message" to businesses that guidelines are in place and should be followed amid concerns over members of the public queuing outside drive through coffee shops.

Nicola Sturgeon told Reporting Scotland she worried the message to the public to stay at home may become "diluted" but that people should continue to "tighten up" on their compliance.

An increasing number of businesses are opening on a takeaway capacity and there is evidence that more people are using public transport.

Meanwhile the Scottish government has yet to set a date for the lifting of lockdown measures.

Ms Sturgeon said: "I need people to abide by these decisions."

She added she thought it was better to treat the public like adults rather than forcing them to comply.

Scottish football clubs face a bigger financial threat from the Covid-19 lockdown than their counterparts in England, Scottish Professional Football League chief executive Neil Doncaster warns.

The heads of key governing bodies today met government ministers to discuss the resumption of sport across Scotland.

The Scottish FA, SPFL, Scottish Rugby and others were invited to a virtual summit with sport minister Joe Fitzpatrick and national clinical director Jason Leitch.

"We gave the minister a frank summary of the existential crisis our game is facing," Doncaster says. "Gate receipts make up a far higher proportion of our income than in England, which benefits from huge TV deals, so until we get back to playing in front of crowds, our game will remain in grave peril."

Could "herd immunity" be back on the UK agenda as it moves out of lockdown?

Some researchers from Edinburgh University are suggesting that younger and more healthy parts of the population could be allowed to mix freely while the more vulnerable remain shielded.

Prof Paul McKeigue told BBC Radio Scotland that, if the country could build up the level of immunity in the younger and healthier population to about 80%, it would be safe for the more vulnerable to come out because there "would be very little risk of being infected".

He says his research group is trying to construct a "risk classifier" that "could tell some people that they were at risk so low that it was perhaps less than being killed in a car accident in the next year

Ohers, he suggests, could be told they are at high risk and they should remain isolated and thoroughly shielded.

Prof McKeigue says such a plan would require more information on the infection mortality rate of Covid-19 - with some saying it is 1% and others arguing that it is much less.

The STUC has called for safety guidance to be published for each sector as the UK moves out of lockdown.

General secretary designate Rozanne Foyer also said any workplace regulations must be enforceable, for example by environmental health officers or trade union safety reps.

While the unions "absolutely support" the cautious approach being taken by the government, she said: "We would want to be sure that the proper capacity is in place for a full test, track and isolation policy to be up and running."

Ms Foyer also called for a public transport strategy to ensure social distancing could be maintained.

The Skye care home which has seen 57 cases of Covid-19, including three deaths of residents, has struggled with recruitment problems, its operator says.

Sir David Behan, of HC One, says competition from tourism and other industries meant it had often been forced to rely on agency staff at Home Farm in Portree.

But he says he is "immensely proud" of the firm's staff in Scotland who are "turning up and doing their job on a daily basis".

He tells Drivetime with John Beattie a big problem is that staff could be asymptomatic - and could have been passing on the virus.

Dr Poppy Lamberton, an expert in global public health, says "limited testing" in the UK is behind the high death toll.

She also suggests the UK had a higher capacity for testing at the beginning which was not made use of due to tight guidelines.

Dr Lamberton adds: "We really should focus on moving forwards, getting people tested, isolating if you have any symptoms and making sure you tell people if you've had symptoms so anyone you've had contact with also isolates even if they don't have symptoms."

Three residents have died, 27 others have tested positive for Covid-19 as well as 27 staff at Home Farm care home in Portree . Only four residents appear to be Covid-free.

Sir David Behan, executive chairman of HC One, which runs the home, admits inspectors had reported some problems with cleaning and staffing in January - but he insists an action plan had been implemented.

As the outbreak gathered pace, the firm secured PPE and put restrictions on visiting in more than 300 homes across the UK, he says.

The former Care Quality Commission chief executive told John Beattie: "We're not looking to hide anything here, this is a matter of public interest."

The main factor in the high number of care home deaths is the vulnerability of older people, he insists.

A further 693 coronavirus deaths have been recorded across the UK, taking the total to 29,427, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab says.

Until today, Italy had been the European country with the highest number of deaths - and the second in the world (after the US). But with 29,315 people to have lost their lives to coronavirus - compared to the UK's 29,427 - it has slipped into third place.

Scottish Labour's Monica Lennon has called for Covid-19 social care response plans to be published in light of the high number of cases in care homes.

Ms Lennon also backed calls for an investigation into the Skye care home.

She said: "We can't leave care home providers and staff to fend for themselves. What we're seeing is an absolute tragedy.

"But my fear is that when we're going to look back and do the inquiries and do the investigations we're going to find that many of these deaths could have been prevented."

A Scottish government statement said employers have a responsibility to ensure protections are in place, while testing of care home staff remains a priority.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon's description of a gradual easing of the lockdown measures was "a sobering listen", according to public health expert Linda Bauld.

"We're all desperately waiting for news about when things will be lifted and definitely today we found out it will be no time soon," the professor of public health at Edinburgh University tells BBC Radio Scotland.

"We have been given signs of what things might change in the future, but I think what the government was trying to communicate is that the risks are still too high to see changes any time soon."

Prof Bauld thinks the first change will be permitting people to do more outdoors, such as exercising more than once a day or talking to people outside the household as long as not coming into close contact with them.

She thinks the next step will be the ability to visit other households and meet in small groups outdoors while also focusing on getting "the NHS back up and running" on treatments other than Covid-19.
