The First Minister said there would be no full lockdown but that special measures may “sometimes” be needed for “hotspots”.

Ms Sturgeon said: "And while we have been asking people to think carefully about non-essential travel, especially overseas, and while restrictions on travel may sometimes be an option for hotspot areas, we are not about to impose travel restrictions on the whole of the country.”

Of the 800 new positive cases announced today, 303 were in the Greater Glasgow health board area.
