    The latest figures show new Coronavirus cases are back in single figures after the highest daily increases in about a month were recorded at the weekend.

    There were 21 new cases on Saturday, and 23 on Sunday.

    Today's briefing by the first minister comes after an outbreak of Covid-19 at a call centre in Motherwell where employees work on NHS England’s Test and Trace programme.

    Eight employees tested positive for coronavirus. The site is now closed and public health Scotland say “almost all” people who may have come into close contact with the virus have been traced and given advice.
