A daily update on the number of coronavirus cases in Scotland and where the cases are.

Across the world, people are being asked to wear face coverings to help stop coronavirus from spreading.

Here are some of the day's key developments:

• Nicola Sturgeon said the weekly figures from National Records of Scotland offered "signs of hope"
• There were 415 deaths linked to virus in the past week, but that was 110 fewer than the week before.
• Figures revealed that people living in the most deprived areas are more than twice as likely to die with coronavirus than those in the least deprived places
• Some lockdown restrictions were eased in England, with people able to meet non-household members outside while social distancing - but in Scotland the message remains stay home.
• The Lord Advocate said Covid-19 deaths at work or in care homes would be reported to the Crown Office, to see if a fatal accident inquiry was needed

We'll be back with live updates from early tomorrow - when we hope to learn more about the R-number in Scotland, a key measure that will determine how soon we can come out of lockdown.

Goodnight

BBC Scotland's The Nine has seen NHS guidance sent to care homes that advises staff “do not meet criteria for testing” even if they show symptoms of coronavirus.

The document, sent to care homes in Fife, says that if the staff member works in a team big enough to “absorb the workload” they should isolate for 14 days instead.

But Scottish government guidance states “all symptomatic key workers” can be tested.

A Scottish government spokesperson told us “all residents and staff will be offered testing, whether they are symptomatic or not, in homes where there has been a confirmed case”.

For the final question, Colin asked Ms Hyslop when garden centres will open given they have now done so in England and Wales.

The economy secretary said that she expected outdoor activity to be "much easier" given the examples set in other countries.

She highlighted the R number - the virus infection rate - is different in Scotland and that the first case arrived in Scotland much later than in London.

She said: "The public health interest means that Scotland has to make its own decisions in terms of what we do.

"I do think because garden centres work outside means we can open them first, but that's in phasing discussions."

Paul's firm has a head office in Scotland but employees in England - he asked should he develop different policies for each office.

Fiona Hyslop said that the UK government framework was helpful "in principal" for different types of workplaces but all businesses should refer to devolved administrations for issues like the timing of reopening.

She said: "I want Scotland to be known as safe. I think it's possible to do what many companies do working over the world adapting policies to different places."

David asked the economy secretary how we handle practicalities such as training new staff for when businesses reopen.

Fiona Hyslop told BBC Scotland that businesses would need to adapt to training staff online and support different types of training, while work was being done to bring together colleges and workplaces.

She said there is a "need to share best practice and experience", and that she expected "far more collaboration between businesses than competition" because it is in "everyone's interest to stimulate demand".

Ms Hyslop added the furlough scheme would be useful in enabling firms to conduct training, allow part time working and carry out phased returns.

She said the Scottish government was working with the Royal Environmental Health Institute of Scotland and the Health and Safety Executive to make sure there was "institutional capability" to give advice to employers and workers on the matter.

Economy Secretary Fiona Hyslop has been taking questions from viewers around Scotland, during Coronavirus: Scotland's Response, on BBC One Scotland.

The first question was from Mark who wants to know how Scotland plans to help businesses going forward.

Ms Hyslop highlighted the Scottish government's four-point economic plan, as well as "big uptake" on grants for which letters are being issued this week.

She said the country would have to "rethink and re-emerge into a world where digital will be more prevalent", as well as making sure jobs and training opportunities exist.

Guidance on how different industries can operate a phased return in a "planned, orderly" fashion will be issued, she said, adding the government is attempting to understand to issues such as transport and childcare for working parents.

Suzi asked what plans would be in place to prevent the tourism industry from collapsing.

Ms Hyslop said the extension of the furlough scheme announced yesterday was "welcome" and said she had argued that the events sector would need a "longer tail" in terms of the support it requires.

The owner of one of the oldest cinemas in Scotland says he hopes to be able to reopen its doors in mid-July.

The coronavirus lockdown forced the family-run Dominion Cinema in Edinburgh to close for only the second time in its 82-year history.

Director Alastair Cameron said they had "battened down the hatches" to make sure the business survived.

But he said everything had now been put in place to enable the cinema to open safely when the time came.

"We have thought out all the social distancing logistics and drawn up all the plans," he said.

"People will be seeing parts of the building they have never seen before as they enter through one of our many emergency exits."

The Scottish government is being urged to follow England in easing lockdown for the housing and leisure sectors.

Homes for Scotland (HFS) and the SGA Fishing Group have both written to Holyrood ministers asking for restrictions around their industries to be lifted, following changes south of the border.

"Our industry contributes significantly to Scotland’s social and economic wellbeing and we are ready and willing to reopen safely with additional measures in place to help protect our employees and customers, while also supporting the struggling economy," said HFS chief executive Nicola Barclay.

Meanwhile, the SGA Fishing Group wants Scotland's rivers to be accessible again, saying that salmon fishing brings £135m to the nation's economy.

"Angling is relatively solitary," said member Robert White. "It has known physical and mental health benefits. It would also allow some fisheries to get at least some income in, too."

Nicola Sturgeon was asked about the report by the Scottish Tory leader during FMQs.

The first minister replied that it was possible the number of deaths in England and Wales was being under reported.

The Dundee Courier get the last question at today's UK government briefing.

Housing minister Robert Jenrick is asked what will happen to the government's job retention or furlough scheme for workers in Scotland if it remains in effective lockdown longer than the rest of the UK.

Could the Treasury step in to pay for the scheme if the Scottish government's borrowing powers are too stretched?

Jenrick says it is a UK-wide scheme and the government will have regard to how it is working in all parts of the UK, adding that it has recently been extended to October.

A woman who spent 45 days in hospital after being admitted with coronavirus has been applauded by nurses to mark her recovery.
