Coronavirus impact on BAME communities in Scotland to be assessed

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon says the Scottish Government is setting up a new group to look at the impact of coronavirus on people from ethnic minority groups.

The First Minister announced the move as she revealed seven more people have died of coronavirus in the last 24 hours, the first increase in deaths in Scotland since Saturday.

A total of 2,422 patients have died in the country after testing positive for coronavirus, up from 2,415, while 15,653 people have tested positive for the virus, a rise of 14 from 15,639 the day before.
