Another day yesterday with no confirmed positive COVID deaths registered in Scotland (and on a weekday too, so without the caveat of lower weekend registrations that applies to Sun/Mon figures).

However, the number of people in hospital who have tested positive for the disease has increased by seven to 429, with the number of people in ICU with confirmed or suspected Covid-19 rising by seven.
It comes as the first pints were poured in pubs across England in the biggest relaxation of rules south of the border yet.
Meanwhile, Scotland is also expected to get another taste of normality as outdoor pubs and bars are allowed to reopen on Monday.
