The alarming trend shows that transmission of the virus is on the rise, with thousands of new cases being reported every day.
It comes after bar bosses staged a protest last night against the new coronavirus restrictions.
Hospitality workers threw debris of ice in front of the City Chambers in Glasgow and the Parliament building in Edinburgh in a symbolic gesture about the new ‘draconian’ measures on the coronavirus.
The spokesperson for the protest group is Graham Suttle, managing director of Kained Holdings.
The 41-year-old, who operates seven bars and restaurants, said: “The hospitality industry has always gone beyond the guidelines to help keep our customers safe and actually support our communities, but we are realizing that we continue to be used as scapegoats and cash cows for a government that clearly does not understand the industry, networks and livelihoods involved “
