Coronavirus: Scotland exam U-turn and NZ city back in lockdown

Here are five things you need to know about the coronavirus outbreak this Tuesday evening. We'll have another update for you tomorrow morning.

1. Scottish school pupils have results upgraded

Thousands of school pupils are to have their exam results upgraded after the Scottish government agreed to accept teacher estimates of scores. A system to award grades was put in place to assess exams cancelled due to the coronavirus lockdown. Results that were downgraded will now be withdrawn and replaced by the original teacher estimates. One Motherwell student whose dream of becoming a doctor was shattered by downgraded Higher results, tells us she is "over the moon" she will now get her five As. All eyes are now on England, Wales and Northern Ireland, where A-level results are due on Thursday.

4. Scottish Premiership games off after Covid breach

Celtic and Aberdeen have had their next two Scottish Premiership matches postponed after their players broke lockdown rules. Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon demanded the cancellation after Celtic defender Boli Bolingoli flew to Spain, failed to quarantine, then played in a match. Ms Sturgeon said this was a "flagrant breach" of the guidelines.
