Specially-configured former search and rescue aircraft, featuring protective curtains and airflow systems, were used for the flights.

John Swinney says universities and employers can have full confidence in this year's certification system.

He told Reporting Scotland: "Universities Scotland will work very closely with us to ensure that young people are not in any way disadvantaged."

He said students' previous work would be their "passport" to certification.

"We are having to do this because we have absolutely no alternative given the gravity of the situation we face as a consequence of coronavirus."

Mr Swinney said: “I understand the distress that young people around the country will feel, but no-one will lose out as a consequence of the arrangements we have put in place.

"The chief examiner has assured me that we can put in place a robust and credible methodology that will enable her to certificated the examination system this year.

"I know it’s different but it has to pass the standard that our independent qualification authority sets for the performance of young people."

Education Secretary John Swinney has told the BBC’s Reporting Scotland that “no young person will lose out” as a consequence of scrapping exams for school pupils this year

It is the first time the exams have been cancelled since the system was introduced in 1888.

Students will now be graded based on course work, their prelim results, prior attainment and teacher assessment.

Dr Fiona Henderson, a consultant anaesthetist at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow, told Drivetime on Radio Scotland she was concerned there was not a single hand sanitiser in the atrium at the entrance to the hospital.

"There are hundreds, if not thousands of people, walking through that area every day then proceeding to lifts, stairwells, doors without any hand gels available whatsoever," she said.

Dr Henderson said that when people cross the threshold of the hospital every single person should be made to clean their hands in some way.

"It is so vitally important that I can't emphasis enough," she said.

Glasgow health board says hand sanitisers are available at the entrance.

Dr Henderson says she has not seen them and people should be forced to use them.

"At the moment, anyone coming in could be carrying the coronavirus," she said.

All schools in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland will close. It's the latest in response to the coronavirus outbreak.

Broomhill Primary School in Glasgow will remain open with a skeleton staff as one of the schools for the children of key workers.

Headteacher Wendy Cameron told Drivetime with John Beattie: "We are keeping the building open next week. We've sent out a form to parents to identify who needs support."

She said many of the families had parents who worked at the nearby hospitals or were GPs.

"We've got a rotation of staff and we'll work on skeleton service and we'll be open from 9am to 3pm," Ms Cameron said.

"We might be able to extend that to breakfast club and after-school provision."

She said she thought it might operate for about 40 pupils out of 450.

The NHS Golden Jubilee Hospital is to scale down non-urgent outpatient appointments and planned procedures.

Bosses at the hospital in Clydebank said staff would be prioritising urgent and emergency heart and lung patients (including lung cancer procedures) as well as urgent diagnostic services.

They said the move was aimed at supporting NHS Scotland.

Earlier today we posted Laura's video of her kids playing social distancing football in Motherwell. It seems to have caught on and has now been viewed 300,000 times. We thought we'd post it again. Give it a try.

The UN's secretary general has issued a stark warning to world leaders about working together to stem the spread of the coronavirus.

"If we let the virus spread like wildfire - especially in the most vulnerable regions of the world - it would kill millions of people. Global solidarity is not only a moral imperative, it is in everyone's interests," Antonio Guterres said.

"The health catastrophe makes it clear that we are only as strong as the weakest health system."

Mr Guterres also urged governments and international bodies to better support the most financially vulnerable - low-wage workers, and small and medium-sized businesses.

A global recession, he added, is now "a near certainty".

Earlier, NHS England confirmed that another 29 people have died. Northern Ireland announced its first virus-related death today and three more deaths were confirmed in Scotland.

The death toll in the country now stands at 137.

Drivetime presenter John Beattie asks the education secretary about experts saying the outbreak could last 18 months.

Mr Swinney says he is not planning for that yet but he cannot say how long the measures being taken will last.

Will there be exams next year?

The education secretary said: "I think we will take one step at a time. At this stage it is best that we focus on the period ahead."

Boris Johnson also says the UK is in negotiations to buy an antibody test that is "as simple as a pregnancy test" to tell people if they have the disease.

"It is early days but if it works we will buy hundreds and thousands as soon as practicable," the PM adds.

He also implores the public to follow the advice the government has given, saying it is "absolutely vital".

He asks for businesses to "stand by employees, stand by workers, as we will stand by you".

Prime Minister Boris Johnson says UK scientists are "rapidly becoming so much better at understanding" the disease and how to tackle it.

He reveals that today, the first corona patient has been put into randomised trial on drugs that may treat the disease.

Mr Johnson also says the country is getting better at testing.

He adds: "The enemy is invisible and the answer is to remove cloak of invisibility to know which of us is carrying it".

Drivetime presenter John Beattie asks the education secretary if teachers might be tempted to mark students favourably.

Mr Swinney said: "Teachers are professionals and we have to rely upon teacher professional judgement.

"The SQA will be able to moderate the judgements that are made by teachers."

He said teacher judgement was only one part of the analysis undertaken by the SQA.

Mr Swinney said he'd asked the chief examiner, who is independent of government, to develop a model that would demonstrate performance by young people and robust analysis by the SQA.

He said: "She has assured me that can be done."

In Downing Street’s latest daily televised press conference he thanked the country for its "huge efforts" to comply with the government's advice.

Mr Johnson said "we can turn the tide within the next 12 weeks", adding: "I'm absolutely confident we can send the virus packing in this country."

He has been joined once again by the UK’s chief medical adviser, Prof Chris Whitty, and chief scientific adviser, Sir Patrick Vallance.

We’ll be bringing you all the latest updates from the briefing.

Mr Swinney told John Beattie: "We are going to ask the Scottish Qualifications Authority to develop an alternative means of certifying the learning that has been undertaken by young people over the course of the last year."

He said this would be a combination of coursework they've done, results from prelim exams and also looking at the teacher judgement information about the estimated performance of candidates.

The education secretary said: "The SQA will apply the robust analysis of that information that is required for any examination system."
