Greece is to open up to tourists from 29 countries in two weeks - but not those travelling from the UK.

Tourists from EU countries including Germany, Austria, Denmark and Finland will be able to visit from 15 June, the tourism ministry announced yesterday.

But some of the world's worst-affected countries - including the UK, France, Italy and Spain - are not on the list.

More countries could be added before 1 July, the ministry added.

Anyone in Scotland with symptoms of Covid-19 should take "immediate steps" to be tested.

They and their household should then self-isolate until the results of the test are known.

If the test is positive, people will need to provide the details of everyone they have had close contact with.

BBC Health and Science correspondent Laura Foster reminds us of the symptoms to look out for...

Reality Check

UK Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden has said there have been 2,445 new infections over the last 24 hours, confirmed through testing.

So, as the UK eases lockdown measures further, how do these case numbers compare with other European countries relaxing their restrictions?

France and the UK have similar populations, of around 66 million, but France registered only 597 new infections yesterday.

In Italy, a country of around 60 million, there were 516 new cases.

Germany, with a population of 83 million, published a figure of 741 new infections yesterday.

The Office for National Statistics puts the daily number of infections in England significantly higher than the daily figure confirmed by testing. It estimates, using survey data, that it could be as high as 8,000 per day.

Almost a fifth of coronavirus-related deaths in hospitals across Scotland have been diabetics, according to official figures.

The statistics have sparked calls for protection and guidelines for those with the condition as lockdown restrictions begin to ease.

It follows similar reports that diabetics made up 30% of fatalities in hospitals south of the border.

Figures from the National Records of Scotland show 554 of those who died with Covid-19 mentioned on their death certificates up to 24 May also had diabetes - almost 15% of the total.

Out of the 1,760 people who died in hospital with the virus, 341 (19%) were diabetics.

A claimed offer of millions of pounds by "philanthropists" to help Scotland's lower league football clubs survive the pandemic is to be investigated by the Scottish Professional Football League.

Hearts owner Ann Budge told BBC Radio Scotland earlier that she was disappointed that the governing body had not pursued the matter with more vigour after she was approached as an intermediary.

"I have had a number of conversations with Ann this week, including one that also involved another club chairman," SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster responds.

"I am delighted to have heard Ann’s comment on the radio this afternoon that there are, in fact, no conditions attached to this money.

“I had been under the impression that Ann was going to continue talking to the potential investors, but if it is now appropriate for me to talk to them directly, I am very happy to do so."

Doncaster says he will speak again with Budge this weekend before the matter is discussed with clubs in the four divisions later in the week.

At the UK briefing, BBC political correspondent Chris Mason asks: "What do you say to those scientists who say the government is easing the lockdown in England too quickly?"

Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden, who announced the return of competitive UK sport behind closed doors from 1 June, begins by saying the scientists from Sage (Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies) will all have "their different perspectives" and the government takes a "collective view".

He says the scientists he has heard talking today are "absolutely right to urge caution", adding "we are at a risky point" with "not much headroom".

Deputy Chief Medical Officer Jonathan Van-Tam says: "The easing of social distancing, the easing of lockdown has to go slowly... painstakingly. The scientists will continue to give that advice to the government, no apologies for that.

"I believe this is also a very dangerous moment. We have to get this right. Contact tracing has got to go well, but the public has got to engage with it."

At the UK government briefing, Lesley from Whitstable asks why England, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own track and trace systems and how these will interact with one another to ensure everyone who has been in contact with someone who has the virus.

Culture Secretary Dowden says, as we begin to get "smaller numbers" of people with the virus in the UK, an "important part" of keeping those numbers down will be testing people and then tracking who else they have been in contact with through contact tracers.

Deputy Chief Medical Officer Jonathan Van-Tam adds that the NHS is a nationwide service for all its citizens but says it is "logical" there will be "slight differences" to the track and trace systems across devolved administrations.

There have been 215 more deaths from coronavirus in the UK in the last 24 hours across all settings, the UK government has announced.

A total of 38,376 have now died after testing positive.

Murrayfield has emerged as the front-runner to stage a 'home' British and Irish Lions Test against Japan before next year's tour of South Africa.

The fixture is pencilled in for Saturday, 26 June 2021, with the Lions' tour opener scheduled a week later.

Meanwhile, Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend says he is behind the implementation of a global calendar and supports the proposal of running back-to-back international windows in October and November.

"Having a competitive element - whether it is a cup or league - would add something tangible," Townsend tells BBC 5 Live. "It would be great to get the players together for a longer period."

Scotland's summer tour to South Africa and New Zealand was cancelled because of coronavirus, with Townsend hoping the Tests could be rescheduled later this year.

Reality Check

Speaking on the Today programme, former chancellor Lord Lamont calls for the UK to re-examine the two-metre social distancing rule to see whether it should be reduced to one metre.

He says some experts, like Prof Dingwall at Nottingham University, pointed out the scientific evidence on the need for a distance of at least two metres was “fragile”.

The World Health Organisation recommends keeping a social distance of at least one metre (three feet).

Social distancing rules in different countries vary between one and two metres.

France and Italy’s rules say you should keep one metre apart. Germany recommends a distance of 1.5 metres, while Spain, like the UK, has a two-metre rule.

The US national advice is to keep six feet (1.8 metres) or “about two arms’ length” apart.

For more on the science behind the two-metre rule, click here.

We have had it confirmed that the UK government will give its daily coronavirus briefing at 16:00 BST.

The briefing will be led by Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden.

He will be joined by Deputy Chief Medical Officer Professor Jonathan Van-Tam.

Hearts owner Ann Budge says "philanthropists" have approached her offering millions of pounds to help Scotland's lower-league clubs but expressed her frustration with the response from the Scottish Professional Football League.

The league asked the businesswoman to submit a discussion paper on league reconstruction, but she believes it is doomed to fail, admitting to BBC Scotland: "A number of clubs won't be able to play next season behind closed doors."

Budge, whose club face relegation from the Premiership after reconstruction was rejected, claims that the league has been unhelpful over the offer of financial help.

"I'm being asked to put it in writing," she says. "It's a nonsense, It's not quick enough, it's not decisive enough."

The SPFL turned down an offer to put chief executive Neil Doncaster up for comment about what Budge describes as "an amazing philanthropic gesture".

Celtic have urged the Scottish Professional Football League to issue the fixture calendar for a new season "as soon as possible".

That is despite national clinical director Jason Leitch telling BBC Scotland this morning that fans should "not write 1 August into their calendars quite yet - there's a long way to go before that".

Following a meeting with sports minister Joe Fitzpatrick on Friday, the SPFL suggested that it will start a new season on that date - if Scotland has moved into phase two of its coronavirus recovery.

The Scottish FA, meanwhile, suggested a targeted return date of 11 June for player training before the new campaign.

Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell said: "We need to get back to football, safely, as soon as possible. That is our message and that is our aim."

The Scottish government has set out a four-phase plan for easing the lockdown. Everything is provisional - for instance, there will have to be evidence that Covid-19 transmission is being controlled - but if all goes well, this is what we can expect.

On Friday, the country entered the first phase of the Scottish government's four-phase "route map" for restarting society while attempting to suppress the virus.

Phase two will happen when the virus is considered "controlled" and the R-number is consistently below 1. The health service must have adequate capacity and the test, trace and isolate system will be running effectively to suppress transmission.

Phase three will happen when the virus is considered "suppressed". Many workplaces will have adapted, and the test and trace system will be able to quickly respond to any areas that need particular attention. Life will feel closer to normal.

We will finally move into phase four when the virus remains suppressed at very low levels and is no longer considered a significant threat to public health. The government says it could take many months or longer to get to this stage.

A mother has told of the heartbreak of seeing her four year old son waving to his father who is unable to get off his ship when it is moored outside their house during the coronavirus lockdown.

Seonaid Russell, 34, said it was "tough" to watch her son Euan yearn to see his bosun father when he was just 100 metres from their house in Oban.

The family live in a cabin which overlooks the town's port.

Alasdair Gordon, 41, is an officer in charge of the deck on the Pharos. The ship is responsible for the operation of Scottish lighthouses.

Since the lockdown, Alasdair and his crew have been instructed to stay on the ship when it is tied up in the dock.

It has meant that when he is moored outside his own house he is not allowed to spend the night with his family as he usually would do.
