We will take to our windows and doors at 8pm tonight to show our appreciation for our NHS workers. Not all heroes wear capes, but a large number do wear PPE and are currently working tirelessly around the clock - often in difficult circumstances - to care for those who are sick, in ill-health, and battling the coronavirus. Today, we launched our #HealthHeroes campaign, aimed at recognising what our NHS workers are putting themselves through 24 hours a day, 7 days a week as they deal with the pandemic. You can find more information about our campaign here: #HealthHeroes Please continue to stay safe, stay indoors, and do reach out to others if you are struggling. It's okay not to be okay. Here are the latest coronavirus news stories this evening: There have now been 126 Covid-19 related deaths in Scotland with 2,602 confirmed cases. #ClapForOurCarers returns tonight to thank those working tirelessly throughout the ongoing pandemic Tens of thousands of jobs are thought to be at risk after the cancellation of Edinburgh's August festivals Radio Clyde founder Lord Gordon has died at 83 after contracting COVID-19 Eddie Large, one half of the Scots comic duo Little and Large has also died from the virus, aged 78 Design and Technology departments in Edinburgh schools are creating face shields for NHS workers Close to 950,000 people have applied for Universal Credit in the past two weeks Three men have been jailed for coronavirus-related crimes including coughing and spitting on police and stealing face masks from an ambulance A total of 2,921 people have now died from coronavirus in the UK as a whole | |
