Coronavirus in Scotland - Early signs of impact on jobs - BBC News
The latest jobless figures for Scotland are yet to fully reflect the "unprecedented impact" of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Scottish government says a report that criticises its response to the Covid-19 crisis in care homes "paints a wholly misleading picture".

Earlier, the former head of services for older people in Glasgow told BBC Radio Scotland's Drivetime the impact of the pandemic on the sector was the single greatest failure of devolved government since its creation.

But a government spokeswoman says "firm action" was taken from the outset to protect care home staff and residents and that initial guidance for care homes, setting out the clinical and practical steps to be taken, was updated on 26 March and 15 May.

"Each iteration is a reflection of our growing understanding of the virus and of the situation on the ground," she says.

The spokeswoman also highlights First Minister Nicola Sturgeon's announcement of "enhanced outbreak investigations" in care homes on 1 May.

"We have taken a number of other steps, such as direct delivery of personal protective equipment (PPE), a stepped increase in testing, with the introduction from next week of testing for all care home staff, and emergency legislation to ensure continuity of care in the event of a care home failing," it concludes.
