1,794 patients are in hospital with a confirmed case (up77).

1,005 patients were admitted to hospital in the week up to 7 January alone.

134 people are being treated in intensive care (up one).

These figures underline the severity of the pressure on the NHS says Ms Sturgeon, which is increasing.

She says she is also very sad to report a further 79 people who tested positive have died, taking the total to 5,102 deaths in Scotland by that measure.

Earlier we learned from the NRS weekly statistics over 7,000 people had died in Scotland with Covid-19 mentioned on the death certificate.

Ms Sturgeon confirms a further 1,949 people have tested positive for Covid-19.That is 10.2% of the total number of people tested.

This takes the total number of positive cases in Scotland to 155,372.

She also confirms that 191,965 people have received their first dose of the vaccine.

Nicola Sturgeon begins by saying the situation we face remains "very precarious and extremely serious".

The first minister confirms she will set out further tightening of the lockdown restrictions shortly.

The first minister will shortly address the chamber with an update on the coronavirus restrictions.

There are concerns the "stay at home" message is not having the same impact it did during last year's lockdown - which means some regulations could be tightened.

Restrictions on click-and-collect rules at shops could be strengthened, as could the rules around takeaways - although takeaways are not expected to be closed down completely.

Non-essential construction and manufacturing could also be restricted - for example, in your home only emergency repairs could be carried out.

We should find out shortly whether new rules will be brought in...

• The first minister will shortly announce whether there is to be a tightening of the current Covid-19 restrictions, from 12.30pm, ahead of FMQs
• Nicola Sturgeon has already said Scotland's current lockdown is "very unlikely" to be lifted at the end of the month

• More than 7,000 people have now died linked to Covid-19 in Scotland, according to NRS weekly figures
• This comes after yesterday's news that more than 5,000 deaths had been recorded after testing positive for Covid-19
• Up to 400,000 people could be given the Covid-19 vaccine every week by the end of February, the health secretary says

• Fewer than half of those using NHS Scotland's Covid-19 app who tested positive, entered the code to alert other users that they should isolate
• Six residents have died in a Covid outbreak at a care home in south west Scotland

A total of 7,074 Scots deaths have been linked to Covid-19, official figures show.

The National Records of Scotland (NRS) figures indicate 384 people died in the week ending 10 January, an increase of 197 from the previous week.

The 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. That daily figure has now risen above 5,000.

The health secretary has set out details of who has been vaccinated., external Here we look at how this breaks down:

• 101,954 healthcare workers
• 24,908 care home staff
• 23,487 care home residents
• 7,911 social care staff
• 7,976 others

The other figure includes the over 80s. National Records of Scotland estimates there are about 270,000 people aged over 80 in Scotland. Jeane Freeman said in the eight days since 4 January, just over 2% of the over 80s living in the community had been vaccinated.

So the problem that emerged with Microsoft Teams on Monday has been resolved.

However this week we learned a Microsoft issue which is affecting school pupils in Scotland during their first days of home learning could take several weeks to resolve.

The firm is "a few weeks away" from implementing a permanent fix to the "join" button on Microsoft Teams, according to Education Scotland.

There was also reports of delays within the chat function.

It comes after a separate Teams issue affected pupils across Scotland.

Various schools reported the technology was running slowly or not at all on Monday. Education Scotland said this problem had resolved later that night.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the government was continuing to liaise with the company to resolve problems.

Problems some schools experienced on Monday with Microsoft Teams have now been resolved, and were not related to the Glow platform which pupils across Scotland can use, the education secretary has said.

59,000 digital devices had been distributed by the end of last year.

Mr Swinney added that his firm view is that being in class is the best place for children and he will get them back in school as soon as possible.

Remote learning "will not replicate in-school teaching in style, approach, or hours or delivery", however.

He said young people should have a daily check-in and will regularly have opportunities to engage with their classmates.

Two health boards postponing all non-urgent surgical procedures as an increase in Covid cases puts growing pressure on the system.

The action from NHS Lanarkshire and NHS Ayrshire and Arran is showing how the numbers of Covid patients in hospital is really starting to impact on wider care.

Wards that would usually treat people recovering from hip or knee replacements for example may need to be converted into Covid wards.

Theatres, usually busy carrying out multiple routine surgeries will become high dependency or intensive care facilities. When staff need to be redeployed to work with Covid patients, it is not safe to carry out other routine work.

These are the difficult choices many health boards will face over the coming weeks. Action required now to deal with this health emergency will have consequences later.

As pupils embark on the first week of learning at home, BBC Scotland has provided a vast online and TV resource.

• On the BBC Scotland channel there is a range of programmes for primary and secondary learners, focussing on the Curriculum for Excellence
• A newly created website is also available for both English and Gaelic content
• Further learning resources for primary and secondary school children at National 5 and Higher is accessible through the Bitesize website
• An pre-school resources available through Cbeebies

Education Secretary John Swinney will now give an update on the issues around home learning.

This week we learned a Microsoft issue which is affecting school pupils in Scotland during their first days of home learning could take several weeks to resolve.

The firm is "a few weeks away" from implementing a permanent fix to the "join" button on Microsoft Teams, according to Education Scotland.

There was also reports of delays within the chat function.

It comes after a separate Teams issue affected pupils across Scotland.

Various schools reported the technology was running slowly or not at all on Monday. Education Scotland said this problem had resolved later that night.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the government was continuing to liaise with the company to resolve problems.

Monica Lennon of Scottish Labour asks how soon vaccination sites will be operating around the clock.

The health secretary says: "Once we have mass sites open and running we can go to 24 hours.

"That is entirely possible."

She said she would anticipate this could be around the end of February or early in March.

But she said 24/7 vaccinations are not possible in GP practices or community pharmacies.

Donald Cameron, of the Scottish Conservatives, asks the health secretary about why clinically vulnerable people will not be vaccinated more quickly.

He says they were originally supposed to be receiving injections by mid-February.

The health secretary says the most vulnerable will be vaccinated first.

"We have done what the JCVI has said... we are on track," she adds.

"That is not a slipping timetable," she adds.

Vaccination sites are being identified and include everywhere from community pharmacies and mobile clinics to large sites including Queen Margaret University, Ravenscraig sports centre, and the Edinburgh and Aberdeen conference centres.

The NHS Louisa Jordan is also acting as a vaccination centre just now but more sites across the Greater Glasgow and Clyde area are being identifed.

Vaccination centres will initially be open 08:00 to 20:00 but this may be extended.

To vaccinate 400,000 people a week will require 3,400 vaccinators, the health secretary says.

Based on current and projected supplies, Ms Freeman says by the first week in February all those in care homes, those over 80 and frontline health and social care staff will have been vaccinated.

Those over 70 are expected to be vaccinated by mid-February.

And those 65 plus, and the clinically extremely vulnerable by the beginning of March.

She says this will mean 1.4 million people will have had their first dose by then.

From the end of February the vaccination programme will deliver over 400,000 vaccinations a week.
