Meanwhile a school in Moray has been closed to primary one pupils after a child tested positive for Covid-19.

Moray Council said a deep clean was taking place at St Gerardine Primary in Lossiemouth.

The local authority said the school would be open to all other year groups and families would be informed of any update on the situation.

Families have been given advice on what to do if their child shows symptoms of Covid-19.

The first minister has just announced the extension of lockdown restrictions in the west of Scotland:

• Coronavirus restrictions on home visits in the west of Scotland have been expanded to Renfrewshire and East Dunbartonshire The move comes the week after measures were re-imposed in Glasgow, West Dunbartonshire and East Renfrewshire.
• All five local authorities will be stepping up enforcement in hospitality.
• First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said acting quickly now could "stem the tide of transmission" in the area.
• The measures will not be extended to Lanarkshire or Inverclyde.
• There will be a review of restrictions in a week.
• Nicola Sturgeon warns there is a "definite trend" of rising case numbers across Scotland.

The significant factor driving transmission is people meeting up in their own homes, hence the measures focusing on indoor meetings between households, says Ms Sturgeon.

These measures will be reviewed in a week, she confirms.

She encourages people to use pubs and restaurants "responsibly".

The first minister confirms the measures will not be extended to Lanarkshire or Inverclyde, the latter of which is also covered by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.

Test and Protect is "working well" she says, and encourages people to self-isolate if they are told they are a contact.

Ms Sturgeon says: "I know it's frustrating, but it is really important that people comply."

Coronavirus restrictions on home visits in the west of Scotland have been expanded to include Renfrewshire and East Dunbartonshire after a continued rise in cases.

From midnight tonight, people should not meet others inside houses.

Nicola Sturgeon says she hopes these measures will mean further measures will not be needed.

All five local authorities will be stepping up enforcement in hospitality, she adds.

Nicola Sturgeon is due to make an announcement about the restrictions in the west of Scotland.

Earlier the first minister warned the rise in coronavirus cases could see the Scottish government "put the brakes" on further changes to lockdown restrictions.

A total of 146 new cases of the virus were reported today.

The first minister said the continued rise must be taken "really seriously".

If you are just joining us, here are the main headlines that emerged from today's Scottish government coronavirus briefing:

• A rise in coronavirus cases could see the first minister "put the brakes" on further changes to lockdown restrictions

• The restrictions will be reviewed on Thursday
• The first minister warns it is unlikely Scotland will move to the next phase in the route map out of lockdown
• A "resurgence" of cases could see restrictions being reimposed

• A total of 146 new cases of the virus have been reported in the last 24 hours

• An average of 152 positive tests have been recorded each day over the past week - compared to 14 per day six weeks ago
• This has not yet resulted in a spike in hospital admissions and no new deaths have been recorded
• The first minister urges everyone to download the Protect Scotland coronavirus tracing app when it's launched later this week
• The government will will review the restrictions in the Glasgow area later today
• 10,000 health workers in Scotland will be joining a UK-wide scheme to monitor whether people are susceptible to getting Covid more than once

Tom Martin from the Scottish Daily Express asks about reports that Glasgow City Council leader Susan Aitken was not sticking to the guidelines while on a night out.

He asks if the FM has a message to those in public office.

"To be blunt, the rules apply to all of us regardless of who we are," replies the first minister.

She urges everyone in leadership roles and public office to "lead by example".

Christine Lavelle, from The Scottish Sun, asks if the government is confident people will sign up to the new Protect Scotland app. She cites a study indicating such apps are not effective until at least 56% of the population sign up.

The first minister says a target for uptake will not be set, but she hopes people will download and use it.

More information will be provided later in the week to allay concerns about privacy and confidentiality, she says.

The app, similar to the one being used in Ireland and Northern Ireland already, will complement the Test and Protect system by identifying contacts who you may not know - for example someone you sit next to on a bus.

It will help to "extend the reach" of Test and Protect "significantly" says the first minister.

The app is expected to go live by the end of this week, she adds.

Peter MacMahon from ITV Border asks if the recent figures are a set back to the elimination strategy.

"Do you think that you still have the virus under control?"

"Any increase in a virus that can make people ill is obviously not a good thing," replies Ms Sturgeon.

"Yes I think it is still under control, but clearly it is rising again.

"We have to act to keep it under control."

That is through Test and Protect and in larger part its down to all of us avoiding giving the virus the opportunity to spread, she warns.

Kirsti Clark from STV asks whether the restrictions in the west of Glasgow are working or if people are now just visiting each other in pubs and restaurants. She also wonders about possible restrictions elsewhere, such as Lanarkshire.

We will asses the latest data later today, replies Ms Sturgeon.

The first minister highlights it can take longer than a week for restrictions to have an effect, given the incubation period of Covid-19.

"I wouldn't anticipate that we will be lifting the restrictions as a result of the review at this point," she adds.

On extending the restrictions to other areas, the first minister insists the government wants to be as minimalist as possible and not do more than is necessary.

Dr Gregor Smith agrees, saying measures must be both "effective and proportionate". He adds there is no evidence of uncontained spreading in the Glasgow area through other environments since indoor visiting was prohibited.

Katie Hunter from the BBC asks what plans are in place to make sure any rise in hospital admissions doesn't disrupt the recent return to regular treatment and operations.

The first minister replies that work is ongoing to remobilise the NHS.

"The fundamental thing that we can do to stop Covid getting in the way of that is all act in the way I have has been setting out to stop the spread of Covid again.

"This comes down to all of us acting in a way that stops the virus spreading."

This will help the health service focus on the resumption of health services.

Health Secretary Jeane Freeman says capacity for dealing with Covid-19 must be kept and points out two and a quarter million people will be vaccinated against the flu this winter.

Ten thousand NHS workers in Scotland will be recruited to participate in research into the body's response to coronavirus.

It is part of programme in both England and Scotland to gather evidence on whether antibodies reduce the risk of reinfection.

Interim chief medical officer Dr Gregor Smith says: "We are still learning about our immune response to it. We don't yet know whether it is possible to be reinfected commonly or whether having antibodies will provide enough protection to stop people getting coronavirus more than once."

The study is being run by Public Health Scotland and Glasgow Caledonian University.

NHS boards will contact eligible staff members shortly, who will be tested every two weeks for the next year.

Dr Smith also encourages any non-NHS workers who wish to help with research to sign up to the Vaccine Research Registry.

Ms Sturgeon insists Test and Protect is our second line of defence.

"The first line of defence is us."

She points out the decisions we make and our behaviour matter more than anything else.

The first minister says the most important thing any of us can do is make sure we know we are complying with the advice.

That means sticking to the limit of no more than eight people from maximum of three houses meeting indoors whether at home or in a pub.

She adds people must keep physically distanced from those from other households.

We must follow the FACTS rules at all time she adds:

• 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

Ms Sturgeon says to avoid the reimposition of restrictions there are two lines of defence in place.

She says Test and Protect is working well and will be enhanced later this week by the launch of the Protect Scotland app.

The first minister encourages all of us to download it once launched and reassures the briefing about the protection of individuals' data.

"It will help us further contain spread."
