National Clinical Director, Professor Jason Leitch, has news of a "complex but small" cross-border cluster of cases identified in the Dumfries and Galloway area, with a link to the north west of England.

He says there have been a number of infections around Gretna and Annan, with contact tracing already under way.

Cases were identified in hospital, a mobile unit and a drive-through site, with Prof Leitch saying more mobile units will be deployed, if needed.

He also refers to the the two people who have tested positive for coronavirus at RAF Lossiemouth, explaining that the people in question undertook antibody tests, which suggest previous infections.

However, he says the pair are isolating and being contact traced.

The first minister closes by emphasising the key public health messages, pointing to a new cluster of cases in Dumfries and Galloway as a sharp reminder Covid is still out there.

There are five pieces of advice in FACTS: They are:

• Face coverings in enclosed spaces
• Avoid crowded places
• Clean hands and surfaces regularly
• Two metre distancing; and
• Self-isolate and book a test if you have symptoms.

The first minister confirms she will reveal more tomorrow about the wearing of face coverings in shops.

Ms Sturgeon tells the briefing: "This has been an incredibly difficult time for children and young people."

She points out it has been tough not going to school and being restricted in how to meet up with friends.

This has led to challenges for parents and carers too, she adds.

The first minister hopes to confirm tomorrow measures for a less frustrating summer holiday for children and young people.

The chief medical officer will also detail important changes to advice for children who are shielding.

The first minister says in tomorrow's briefing she hopes to confirm Scotland will go ahead with many of the phase two changes already signalled.

Ms Sturgeon says there is a careful return to some form of normality, but reminds us life should not feel like normal.

She says, from today, the Warmer Homes Scotland programme will resume, to tackle fuel poverty.

This is a sign that public services and economic activity "are starting up again".

Ms Sturgeon says deaths in care homes made up just under half of all Covid deaths last week.

The number of Covid deaths decreased from 20 the previous week to 16 in the most recent week.

The first minister tells the briefing the total number of deaths from last week from all causes, not just from Covid, was 20 below the five-year average.

This is the first time since March the total number of deaths has been below the five-year average, or in other words there were no excess deaths.

This tells of "the real and sustained progress we are making in tackling Covid".

The first minister confirms 4,155 deaths according to NRS figures just published.

That figure is higher than the daily figure as it includes cases where Covid-19 is mentioned on a death certificate, even if the patient had not been tested.

The NRS revealed that there had been 35 deaths relating to Covid-19 between 22 and 28 June, a decrease of 14 from the previous week.

This is the ninth weekly reduction in a row, and the lowest weekly total since mid-March

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon confirms 18,259 people have now tested positive for Covid-19, an increase of eight from yesterday.

785 patients are in hospital with a suspected or confirmed case (a decrease of 100), with 17 being treated in intensive care (down two).

Since 5 March, a total of 4,071 patients who had tested positive have now been discharged from hospital.

A further one person who tested positive has died in the last 24 hours, taking the total to 2,486 deaths in Scotland by that measure.

Nicola Sturgeon will lead today's Scottish government coronavirus briefing from 12.30pm.

The latest weekly and daily Covid-19 death figures and statistics from the Test and Protect system are expected to dominate today.

The first minister will be joined by:

• Health Secretary Jeane Freeman
• Scotland's National Clinical Director Jason Leitch

For the first time since March the total number of weekly deaths in Scotland has fallen below the 5 year average.

As at 28 June, 4,155 deaths have been registered in Scotland where the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) was mentioned on the death certificate, according to official figures just published.

Between 22 and 28 June, 35 deaths relating to Covid-19 have been registered, a decrease of 14 from the previous week.

This is the ninth weekly reduction in a row, and the lowest weekly total since mid-March

The National Records of Scotland (NRS) figures are higher than the daily figure announced by Nicola Sturgeon because they include all cases where Covid-19 is mentioned on a death certificate, even if the patient had not been tested.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer are set to go head-to-head at 12:00 BST.

Social distancing remains in force in Parliament so the Commons chamber has been much less full than it would normally be for the weekly set-piece.

And many MPs, including the SNP's Westminster leader Ian Blackford, are likely to be putting their questions remotely.

It's a busy day in Westminster, with PMQs set to be followed by a statement by Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab on Hong Kong.
