The number of cases in Scotland that have tested positive for coronavirus has risen to 373, the latest government figures reveal. 

Today's figure is a rise of 51 from yesterday's 322 confirmed cases.

So far, there have been seven deaths, a rise from six yesterday. 

This comes as the UK Government announced the closure of all pubs, restaurants, clubs and cinemas in an attempt to apply downward pressure to the growing number of cases. 

The country's most senior police officer praised the "overwhelming majority" of Scots who have complied with health advice.

Chief Constable Iain Livingstone thanked all those who had followed the guidance, issued by both First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
