Health Secretary Jeane Freeman has told MSPs that it is "no exaggeration to say" that continuing hand washing to reduce coronavirus infection will help save lives.

In a statement to the Scottish Parliamanet, the minister said that no measure to curb the effects of the virus had been ruled out.

However, she added: "It is no exaggeration to say that continuing with simple measures like hand washing and sneezing etiquette could help the reduction of the infection spread and as a result help save lives."
