The number of people with coronavirus in Greater Glasgow has risen to 1094.

That is an increase of 110 from yesterday's figure of 984.

The revelations came during the Scottish Government's regular 2pm daily update.

In neighbouring Lanarkshire, the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases has gone from 512 to 547.

In Lothian, there are now 621 cases.

Earlier, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon revealed the number of people who have died in Scotland after contracting coronavirus is 296, a rise of 74 from Monday.

The figure is “relatively large”, she said because the National Records of Scotland is moving to recording deaths seven days a week, having recorded just four deaths over the weekend, which she had said would be “artificially low”.

In total, 4229 people have tested positive across the country - up from 3961 the previous day.

Meanwhile the number of patients being treated in hospital for COVID-19 is 1751, including 199 in intensive care.

The First Minister also wished the Prime Minister well as he battles coronavirus in intensive care, saying: “We are all willing you on Boris, get well soon.”

She issued the message of support to Mr Johnson and his family on behalf of the Scottish Government and the people of Scotland while he continues to fight the Covid-19 infection.

Speaking at the daily press briefing, Ms Sturgeon said the Prime Minister’s illness showed that the virus “simply doesn’t discriminate”.

Ms Sturgeon said: “At times like this, things that divide us in normal times just seem so much less important and we are very much reminded of that again today.

“Right now, all of us are just human beings united in a fight against this virus.

“As we know, the Prime Minister – as well as leading the UK’s response – is currently in hospital fighting his own personal battle against coronavirus.

“I chaired a meeting of the Scottish Government’s cabinet this morning and we recorded our very best wishes to him.

“Now – and I’m sure I do this on behalf of all of Scotland – I want to send every good wish to him, his fiancee and to his whole family.

“We are all willing you on Boris, get well soon.”

On Tuesday afternoon, the Prime Minister’s spokesman said that Mr Johnson’s condition overnight was stable and he “remains in good spirits”.

The spokesman added: “He is receiving standard oxygen treatment and breathing without any other assistance.

“He has not required mechanical ventilation or non-invasive respiratory support.”

Stressing that the UK and Scottish governments would continue to work closely in their response to the disease, Ms Sturgeon said: “The Prime Minister’s illness will not affect us as people would expect, there will still be co-operation on key strategic decisions which take place, where appropriate, between the Scottish Government, the UK Government and the other devolved governments.

“My ministers have, for a number of weeks, joined UK ministers for regular meetings on health, public services and the economy, and that will continue.”
