Indoor and outdoor gatherings in Scotland were restricted to six people from two households just two weeks ago - although children did not count towards the total.
However, the number of people testing positive for the virus has continued to increase since then - with the average number of new cases every day now reaching 285, compared to only seven a day in July.
A ban on people from different households meeting in homes is to be imposed across Scotland, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has announced. The measure is already in place in Glasgow and some neighbouring areas. But Ms Sturgeon said it would be rolled out across Scotland in a bid to get the virus under control again before winter.
