Four more people have died from coronavirus in Scotland in the last 24 hours, the Scottish Government has confirmed.
The latest figures show that 764 new coronavirus cases were recorded overnight, bringing the total number of positive cases to 31,451 since the pandemic began.
The new deaths mean that the total balance amounts to 2,526.
According to the data, currently 191 people are being treated in the hospital and 23 in intensive care.
Yesterday, during its daily Edinburgh virus briefing, the FM confirmed that four more people had died from coronavirus during the previous 24-hour period, and there were 775 new cases.
The latest figures come as Scottish Labor leader Richard Leonard urged Sturgeon to back his calls for a petition to be launched for the resignation of embarrassed SNP MP Margaret Ferrier of Westminster.
Speaking on BBC Breakfast, Leonard said he “hoped” he would realize that his position is “untenable” but asked FM to join forces with him if not.
There have been calls for the Rutherglen and Hamilton West representative to resign after she admitted using public transport to attend Westminster, despite waiting for test results for the coronavirus and returning to Scotland after it was confirmed that she was positive.
The Prime Minister has said that she has made it “very clear” that she wants her party colleague to resign and has described his movements as “indefensible”.
Leonard said this morning: “I make this call this morning to Nicola Sturgeon if Margaret Ferrier does not hear her call to resign, I ask Nicola Sturgeon to work with me to get a public petition in that constituency to put pressure on Margaret Ferrier to resign. “.
We revealed last night that Ferrier visited a beauty salon, gym, and gift shop on the same day that he took the Covid-19 test.
He also tweeted that day about visiting various local businesses.
Yesterday, the Metropolitan Police announced a joint investigation into Ferrier’s movements together with the Scottish Police and the British Transport Police.
