Six more people have died in Scotland after testing positive for Covid-19.

There have been four more cases confirmed in the Grampian area and two in the north of Scotland.
Shetland’s total remains at 27.
Across Scotland, 1,563 people have tested positive for the virus as of 9am on Monday, up 179 from 1,384 on Sunday.
At her daily briefing, Nicola Sturgeon announced that several NHS screening programmes will be suspended across Scotland.
These include breast, cervical and bowel screening.
She said the decision “was not taken lightly” and was based on recommendations from the chief medical officer Dr Catherine Calderwood and NHS National Services Scotland.
The First Minister said the move would “maximise the ability of the NHS to cope in the coming weeks”.
Dr Calderwood said screening for pregnant women and for newborn babies would continue as normal.
