No deaths have been reported from coronavirus in Scotland for three days running.

The death toll in the country remains unchanged at 2490. 

Another seven cases of the virus have been confirmed in Scotland in the latest figures, taking the total to 18,340.

In Greater Glasgow, the total number of registered cases is at 4872. A total of 180 people are in hospital in the area being treated for confirmed Covid-19. 

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon labelled the figures as "good" progress but that care is still needed.  

She wrote: "Positive cases in past 24 hrs back in single figures (7) after yesterday’s increase.

"Also, another day with no registered deaths amongst people who had tested positive. Progress still good - but with significant easing of lockdown next week, we all must take care."

It comes as we enter the first weekend of phase three in the government's route map out of lockdown, which was set out by the First Minister on Thursday.
