NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) has now confirmed testing has been extended to four wards at the QEUH.

Infection control measures are also in place for patients with low immunity.

NHSGGC said it is working with experts from Health Protection Scotland, Health Facilities Scotland and Scottish Water.

The health board revealed the probe had been extended after a source told BBC Scotland that taps and showers had been taped up in QEUH wards and only bottled water was allowed.

MSPs will now quiz ministers on issues of a topical nature...........

Mr Ewing says there must be a fishing industry based on sustainable stocks.

But Mr Gove urged them to keep their "eyes on the prize" of getting control.

Lib Dem Alistair Carmichael, who raised the issue, said "the mood in fishing communities is one of palpable anger".

Fishermen had wanted the UK to regain full control over the country's fishing waters on Brexit day, 29 March, 2019.

Lib Dem MSP Tavish Scott asks about the taking forward species rollover, discard ban and choke species.

Labour MSP Colin Smyth accuses both UK and Scottish government of using fishing as a political football.

Mr Ewing says fishermen do no want to see vessels tied up at harbour and want to hear their voice heard at the table.

He says thanks to this deal the UK will be mere consultees.

Tory MSP Peter Chapman says he "shares the disappointment", but adds "we will become an independent coastal state".

He notes the SNP wants to re-join the EU and therefore also the CFP.

Mr Ewing says the SNP has "always opposed the CFP".

"We've got absolutely nothing to regret or apologise for," he adds.

SNP MSP Kate Forbes asks if the cabinet secretary shares the same "sense of betrayal" fishermen she represents have expressed to her.

Mr Ewing says: "I do think they will see this as a very clear betrayal."

He says the interests of the Scottish fishing industry have been shown so little regard by the UK government.

The minister says what has happened is completely unacceptable.

The UK and EU have agreed on a "large part" of the agreement that will lead to the "orderly withdrawal" of the UK.

Negotiators Michel Barnier and David Davis saidthe deal on what the UK calls the implementation period, externalwas a "decisive step" in the Brexit process.

But issues still to be resolved include the Northern Ireland border.

And Scotland's fishing industry has reacted angrily to the deal, which will see the UK "consulted" on quotas and access to its waters until 2021.

Rural Secretary Fergus Ewing says the Conservatives have "sold out" the Scottish fishing industry.

He points to recent commitments made by Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson and UK Environment Secretary Michael Gove indicating the UK would leave the Common Fisheries Policies in March 2019.

The cabinet secretary accuses the UK government of "betraying" the industry as it seeks to leave the EU.

He says this is Ruth Davidson's "fastest broken Brexit promise yet".

Instead, the UK will be "consulted" on fish quotas during the interim period.

• UK and EU agree Brexit transition terms
• Deal is done - but work remains

Five SNP MSPs and Green MSP Mark Ruskell took the total against to six, with five backing Ms Smith's motion.

Environment Secretary Roseanna Cunningham says with science it is always a balance between differing scientific opinions.

Ms Cunningham says she will make sure peer review data is made available.

The minister utterly refutes the notion that the regulations are an arbitrary exercise.

She says the decisons are made on what the government understands is happening in Scotland's rivers.

"Angling is not banned on any river, angling can continue, it is the taking of a fish and killing it on some rivers."

She strongly requests the committee to not back the annullment motion.
